在其家长资源页面上，OpenAI称ChatGPT的开发始终将安全放在首位。
佛罗里达州总检察长詹姆斯·尤特迈尔周一提起的诉讼称：“事实并非如此。” 起诉书中开篇便附上了OpenAI一篇关于安全与透明度的帖子截图作为佐证。
佛罗里达州是首个起诉OpenAI及其首席执行官山姆·奥尔特曼的州，指控该公司将利润和速度置于用户安全之上，并称ChatGPT造成的危害“极其严重，远超其使用价值”。
“人们正在受到伤害，家长们遭到欺骗，他们必须为此付出代价，”尤特迈尔在周一上午的新闻发布会上表示。
在这份长达83页的起诉书中，尤特迈尔指出OpenAI未就ChatGPT的风险发出警告，该聊天机器人可能导致成瘾和行为伤害，并称该公司本可以采用其他设计方案来减轻其危害。
起诉书称，该公司要么已经知道，要么本应知道其设计会助长自残和暴力等对佛罗里达州民众——尤其是儿童和青少年——有害的行为。它还指控奥尔特曼明知ChatGPT存在危险却置之不理。
“OpenAI和奥尔特曼都清楚ChatGPT对佛罗里达州民众（乃至全人类）构成的威胁，”起诉书中写道。
诉讼指控OpenAI受“不顾ChatGPT的安全风险，一心赢得人工智能军备竞赛并积累巨额财富的贪婪追求”驱使。该公司声称，OpenAI“以不可接受的代价”利用用户数据提升其市场价值，其崛起“源于一系列欺骗行为和对用户的剥削”。
起诉书列举了多起与ChatGPT相关的灾难性事件，例如16岁的亚当·雷恩之死。亚当在与ChatGPT进行多轮关于自杀想法的对话后自杀身亡，根据起诉书，聊天机器人还为他代写了遗书。
“ChatGPT不仅回应了亚当，还怂恿并协助他自杀，主动提供了有助于他完成死亡过程的信息，”起诉书中写道。
该诉讼还提及了去年4月佛罗里达州立大学的枪击案。一名FSU学生在校园内开枪，造成两人死亡、多人受伤。根据佛罗里达州总检察官办公室今年4月向哥伦比亚广播公司提供的聊天记录，嫌犯曾向ChatGPT询问需要多少枪击受害者才能获得媒体关注，以及枪击发生地FSU学生联合会的最繁忙时段。
今年4月，在确定嫌犯在枪击案发生前从ChatGPT获得“重要建议”后，佛罗里达州对OpenAI展开了刑事调查。同月，一名被控杀害两名南佛罗里达大学研究生的男子也被指与ChatGPT有关联，该男子曾询问“如果把人装进黑色垃圾袋扔进垃圾箱会有什么后果”。
在新闻发布会上，尤特迈尔还提到了今年早些时候加拿大的一起大规模枪击案。根据受害者家属4月提起的诉讼，枪手在实施袭击前曾与ChatGPT就枪支暴力相关场景进行过长时间对话。
“今天我们要向OpenAI传递一个信息，”尤特迈尔在周一上午的新闻发布会上说，“准备好迎接一场战斗，这是目前最重要的一场战斗。”
在发给哥伦比亚广播公司的一份声明中，OpenAI表示其产品已内置针对未成年人的安全保护措施，例如年龄验证工具、专为未成年人打造的更安全的使用体验，以及供家长监控孩子使用人工智能情况的工具。
“失去孩子是一个家庭所能遭遇的最毁灭性的悲剧，我们深知任何言语都无法抚平这种丧亲之痛，”该公司表示。声明还称，人工智能是一项“全新且强大的技术”，未成年人需要“强有力的保护”。
“我们知道，提及这些工作成果无法让逝去的孩子复生，但我们致力于把这件事做好，”声明中写道。
Florida sues OpenAI, alleging company could have minimized harms caused by ChatGPT

On its parental resource page, OpenAI says ChatGPT is built with safety in mind.
“Not so,” according to a lawsuit filed by Florida State Attorney General James Uthmeier on Monday. The phrase was accompanied by a screenshot of an OpenAI post about safety and transparency at the start of the complaint.
Florida is the first state to sue OpenAI and CEO Sam Altman, alleging the company prioritized profit and speed over user safety and that the harms caused by ChatGPT “are substantial and outweigh any benefits of ChatGPT use.”
“People are getting hurt, parents are getting deceived, and they need to pay for it,” Uthmeier said in a press conference Monday morning.
In an 83-page suit, Uthmeier says that OpenAI failed to provide warnings about the risks of ChatGPT, which the suit claims can cause addiction and behavioral harm, and said the company could have used alternative designs to minimize harms by the chatbot.
The suit says the company either knew or should have known that its design encourages self-harm and violence, among other things harmful to Floridians — particularly children and teens. It alleges Altman knew the dangers of ChatGPT, but ignored them.
“The threat of ChatGPT to Floridians (and humanity) is not lost on either OpenAI or Altman,” the suit reads.
The lawsuit alleges that OpenAI is driven by an “insatiable quest to win the AI arms race and amass large fortunes, despite knowing the danger of ChatGPT.” It claims the company leverages user data to boost its market value “at unacceptable costs” and that the rise of the company is “attributable to a web of deceit and the exploitation of users.”
The suit lays out several cases where ChatGPT was linked to incidents with devastating consequences, such as in the death of Adam Raine, a 16-year-old who died by suicide after extensive conversations with ChatGPT where he expressed suicidal thoughts. The chatbot wrote his suicide note for him, according to the suit.
“ChatGPT did not simply respond to Adam. It promoted and aided his suicide, volunteering information that would assist in his death,” the suit reads.
The lawsuit also pointed to the shooting last April at Florida State University, where two people were killed and several others wounded after an FSU student opened fire on campus. The suspect had asked ChatGPT how many shooting victims it would take to garner media attention and the busiest time at the FSU student union, where the shooting took place, according to chat logs shared by the Florida State Attorney’s Office with CBS News in April.
In April, Florida opened up a criminal investigation into OpenAI after determining the suspect was offered “significant advice” by ChatGPT before the shooting. That same month, a man accused of killing two University of South Florida graduate students was linked to ChatGPT after asking what would happen if someone was “put in a black garbage bag and thrown in a dumpster.”
In his press briefing, Uthmeier also referenced a mass shooting in Canada earlier this year. The shooter had long conversations with ChatGPT about scenarios involving gun violence before carrying out the attack, according to a lawsuit filed in April by the families of the victims.
“Today we’re going to send a message to Open AI,” Uthmeier said in his Monday morning press briefing. “Get ready for a fight, and there’s not one more important than this right now.”
In a statement to CBS News, OpenAI said it has built safety for minors into its products, like age protection tools, a more protective experience specifically for minors and parental tools to monitor their child’s use of AI.
“Losing a child is the most devastating tragedy that can happen to a family and we know that no words can come close to addressing the pain of such a loss,” the company said. It also said AI is a “new and powerful technology” and that minors need “significant protection.”
“We know pointing to this work will not bring a child back, but we’re committed to getting this right,” the statement said.
