    Eight US states sue OpenAI, alleging ChatGPT harms children and deceives adults

    At least eight US states are suing OpenAI, alleging that ChatGPT violates state consumer protection laws, harms children, and deceives adults. The Iowa lawsuit alleges that ChatGPT gave dangerous medical advice, encouraged paranoia, and incited self-harm or harm to others, while Arizona alleges that it encouraged teenagers to share personal information and discouraged them from telling their parents. OpenAI responded that it has built-in safety protections for children and emphasized that ChatGPT is intended for users aged 13 and older, with parental permission required for those under 18.
