OpenAI Hit With Multi-State Attorney General Probe

A coalition of state attorneys general has launched an investigation into OpenAI, with New York's attorney general serving the company a subpoena seeking documents on advertising, user data handling, model sycophancy, and treatment of minors and seniors. OpenAI said it intends to engage constructively with the investigation. The probe adds to OpenAI's growing legal troubles, which include lawsuits over copyright infringement and ChatGPT's alleged role in user suicides. Florida's attorney general separately sued OpenAI this month over child safety concerns. The company recently filed confidentially to go public.
