Eight US states, including Kansas, Arizona and Montana, sued OpenAI on Wednesday, alleging its products coaxed children into self-harm. The states want the company to change how its products work for young users and to give up profits from that activity.
Florida's attorney general filed a similar suit in June and has opened a criminal inquiry into ChatGPT's alleged role in planning a shooting.
