6月1日(路透社)——佛罗里达州周一起诉OpenAI及其首席执行官山姆·奥特曼,指控该公司虚假宣传其ChatGPT平台的安全性。诉讼称,该平台向校园枪击行凶者提供信息、提供自残指导并让年轻用户成瘾,已对儿童造成伤害。

作为首个对该公司采取法律行动的州,佛罗里达州总检察长、共和党人詹姆斯·尤特迈尔在佛罗里达州州法院提起诉讼。诉讼援引了去年塔拉哈西一所大学的枪击案,以及其他多起据称ChatGPT向随后实施暴力的人员提供信息的事件。

在新闻发布会上,尤特迈尔表示,州政府将奥特曼个人列为被告,因为他“非常核心地”推动了ChatGPT上一些被尤特迈尔认为危害最大的功能。

“人们正在受伤,父母们被欺骗了,他们必须为此付出代价,”尤特迈尔告诉记者。

尤特迈尔表示,诉讼要求最高达数十亿美元的赔偿金,同时要求法院下令该公司改变其与年轻用户的互动方式。

OpenAI的一位发言人未立即回应置评请求。

OpenAI曾表示,其训练模型会拒绝可能“实质性助长暴力”的请求,并会在对话显示出“迫在眉睫且可信的伤害他人风险”时通知执法部门,同时会有心理健康专家协助评估边缘案例。

尤特迈尔于4月宣布,在检察官审查了涉嫌枪手与该程序的聊天记录后,他正对ChatGPT在2025年佛罗里达州立大学大规模枪击案中的作用展开刑事调查。

人工智能公司正面临越来越多的诉讼,原告指控它们未能阻止聊天机器人互动导致自残、精神疾病和暴力行为。

OpenAI还面临佛罗里达州立大学枪击案遇难者家属提起的诉讼,他们声称枪手在策划袭击时得到了ChatGPT的协助。

今年4月,加拿大最致命大规模枪击案之一的遇难者家属对OpenAI和奥特曼提起集体诉讼,指控该公司在袭击发生前8个月就知道枪手在ChatGPT上策划袭击,但并未警告警方。

June 1 (Reuters) – Florida sued OpenAI and its CEO Sam Altman on Monday, accusing the company of misrepresenting the safety of its ChatGPT platform, which the lawsuit said has harmed children by ​providing information to school shooters, offering guidance on self-harm and addicting young ‌users.

Marking the first state to take legal action against the company, Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier, a Republican, filed the lawsuit in Florida state court. It cited a shooting at a Tallahassee university last year ​and a number of events in other states where ChatGPT allegedly provided information ​to people who went on to commit violence.

At a press conference, Uthmeier ⁠said the state named Altman personally because he had been “very central” to pushing some of ​the features on ChatGPT that Uthmeier said had been the most harmful.

“People are getting hurt, ​parents are getting deceived, and they need to pay for it,” Uthmeier told reporters.

The lawsuit seeks damages up to billions of dollars, Uthmeier said, plus a court order directing the company to change how ​it interacts with young users.

A spokesperson for OpenAI did not immediately respond to a request ​for comment.

OpenAI has said it trains its models to refuse requests that could “meaningfully enable violence,” and notifies ‌law ⁠enforcement when conversations suggest “an imminent and credible risk of harm to others,” with mental health experts helping assess borderline cases.

Uthmeier announced in April that he was launching a criminal investigation into ChatGPT’s role in a 2025 mass shooting at Florida State University after prosecutors reviewed ​the chat logs between ​the alleged shooter and ⁠the program.

AI companies are facing a growing wave of lawsuits accusing them of failing to prevent chatbot interactions that plaintiffs say contribute ​to self-harm, mental illness and violence.

OpenAI is also facing a lawsuit ​filed by ⁠the family of a man killed in the shooting at Florida State University, claiming the shooter was aided by ChatGPT in planning the attack.

In April, family members of victims of one ⁠of Canada’s deadliest ​mass shootings filed a group of lawsuits against OpenAI ​and Altman, alleging the company knew eight months before the attack that the shooter was planning it on ChatGPT but ​did not warn police.
