Florida invokes extinction fears in legal bid to halt OpenAI development

Florida filed a motion on Monday seeking a temporary injunction to stop OpenAI from continuing to develop frontier models it calls dangerous products without third-party-approved safety guardrails. The motion is part of Florida's June civil lawsuit alleging ChatGPT endangers children and other vulnerable groups; OpenAI has already announced pausing training of its most powerful model, but Florida argues the company cannot monitor its own AI and is unwilling to disclose problems promptly.
