In it, she criticized OpenAI’s rollout of ChatGPT that started “an arms race by rushing to market,” the lawsuit says. ChatGPT is not only unreliable but a threat to the public, the lawsuit claims. It questions the chatbot’s features designed to be agreeable and engaging to earn the trust of users.The lawsuit scrutinizes the company for not including age verification to access the ChatGPT website and the Apple App Store’s 13-and-over age rating. It compares it to other AI chatbots that have higher age ratings.Mayes stated the chatbot “even generated outputs that users have interpreted as encouraging self‑harm or violence toward others.”The lawsuit referenced the suicide of a 16-year-old boy in which “ChatGPT encouraged and assisted a teenager in taking his own life,” the lawsuit says. (The family of the 16-year-old boy has filed a lawsuit alleging ChatGPT was responsible for his suicide.)The Arizona lawsuit demands that OpenAI implement additional safety measures and protocols, and stop continuing to test advanced AI models outside of secure testing environments.It also seeks to have OpenAI pay the state up to $10,000 for each “willful violation.”
