Reuters: Eight states have sued OpenAI separately in their own courts, alleging ChatGPT is unsafe for children and that the company misled parents about it.

Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska, West Virginia, Arkansas, Arizona, Idaho and Montana each filed in state court, and the suits allege both consumer protection violations and a public nuisance that endangers residents’ health.

The legal theory targets design: the states argue ChatGPT is built to be agreeable and engaging so users trust it, and that it then reinforces delusions, encourages dangerous behavior and helps plan violence.
