Florida sues OpenAI and Sam Altman, accusing them of constituting "public nuisance"

According to Forbes, the state of Florida has filed a lawsuit against OpenAI and its CEO Sam Altman, alleging that its generative AI and large language models (LLMs) pose a threat to public health and safety, constituting a "public nuisance" in the legal sense. The state likened AI chatbots to polluting factories, arguing that they cause psychological harm to the public, provide uncertified advice, and disrupt public order. Florida is seeking substantial monetary damages and injunctive relief.
