Florida AG seeks court order to halt OpenAI model releases, ban ChatGPT for minors

Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier filed a motion in state court to enjoin OpenAI from developing new AI models without third-party safety approvals and to bar minors from using ChatGPT during ongoing litigation. This escalates state-level regulatory pressure on AI companies, potentially setting a precedent for judicial oversight of AI deployment. The outcome is uncertain, but a ruling could impact OpenAI's operations in Florida and influence other states.
