📰 What Happened
Florida authorities have asked a state court to stop OpenAI from developing ChatGPT further. They want a set of safety guardrails put in place first. Attorney General James Uthmeier announced the case on Monday. 'Stop calling it safe. Stop pretending it's human. Stop selling it to kids,' Uthmeier wrote on X. He pointed to recent warnings from OpenAI CEO Sam Altman about the risks of AI. The state wants the court in Highlands County to step in.
🔍 The Backstory
Altman told the UN Security Council last week that humanity could lose control of the future of AI. He spoke alongside the heads of the rival firms Anthropic and Hugging Face. Uthmeier, a Republican, was chief of staff to Florida Governor Ron DeSantis until 2025. His call for rules goes against the Trump administration, which has rejected new AI guardrails and called warnings hoaxes.
🎯 Why It Matters
AI tools are used by millions of people, including children. This case will help decide who sets the safety rules for them.
