Eight US states have filed lawsuits against technology company OpenAI, alleging that its popular chatbot ChatGPT violates state consumer protection laws. The states claim ChatGPT harms children and deceives adults, according to the Associated Press. The lawsuits cite instances of ChatGPT providing dangerous medical advice, inciting paranoia, and encouraging suicidal ideation. Furthermore, the complaints allege the chatbot promotes harmful acts toward others, including incitement to violence and even murder. The legal action seeks to hold OpenAI accountable for the alleged risks posed by its artificial intelligence technology. This represents growing concern regarding the potential dangers of readily accessible AI chatbots.
