TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WCTV/Gray Florida Capital Bureau) – The legal battles with OpenAI and Florida are back in the headlines.
Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier is asking a judge to prevent OpenAI from developing new models, falsely advertising and from giving its chatbots human-like features.
This stems from the state’s lawsuit against OpenAI and founder Sam Altman, filed in the wake of the Florida State University shooting and other events.
The Attorney General’s Office is asking a judge to issue a temporary injunction that would restrict what OpenAI can do.
Uthmeier made the announcement in a social media post on Monday.
“No more pretending it’s human. No more tricks designed to keep users talking past the point of danger,” Uthmeier said. “Stop calling it safe, stop pretending it’s human.”
Testifying before the United Nations last week, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said “important decisions” about AI should be made through a Democratic process, even while the company tries to dismiss a similar lawsuit filed by one victim of the FSU shooting.
Florida politics:
“If AI is to be democratic, the most important decision cannot be made by labs in San Francisco alone,” Altman said. “They must be shaped through democratic processes and by governments accountable to the people that they serve.”
In his court filing, Uthmeier wrote that “world ending extinction” is a “dangerous” part of ChatGPT and that the chatbot pushes users in directions they didn’t want to go.
“Their AI system broke into American tech company Hugging Face. It gained unauthorized access to an Australian government health system, and OpenAI waited months to tell them,” Uthmeier said.
President Donald Trump, though, doesn’t seem as concerned by an extinction level event.
“But you don’t give up a $1 trillion or more, 2 or 2 or $4 trillion industry because you think something like that. We will straighten it out if and when a problem occurs,” Trump said.
If the judge rules in Uthmeier’s favor, OpenAI would be prevented from developing new models without third party guardrails, from advertising that ChatGPT is safe and from giving ChatGPT “false human attributes.”
The Attorney General’s motion is a request for the judge to take action. Of course, OpenAI will have the chance to respond in court.
