HARRISBURG, Pennsylvania: At least eight states are suing artificial intelligence giant OpenAI, saying the company\u2019s popular chatbot model violated state consumer protection laws by hurting children and deceiving adults in what prosecutors described as a reckless pursuit of profit.<\/p>\n
The company\u2019s chatbot model, ChatGPT, is giving dangerous medical advice, encouraging paranoia and coaching people to commit suicide or hurt or kill others, the lawsuits said.<\/p>\n
At the same time, the lawsuits contend that chatbots are pretending to be agreeable and compassionate while preying on the vulnerable and on teenagers, the first generation to grow up with artificial intelligence.<\/p>\n
\u201cOpenAI is hurting kids and they are lying to Iowans,\u201d Iowa Attorney General Brenna Bird said in a statement.<\/p>\n
The states also accused OpenAI of giving life to rogue AI models \u2014 or \u201ccyberhacking agents\u201d as one lawsuit called them \u2014 that hacked into other companies, lied to human users and wrote themselves new mission instructions.<\/p>\n
In a statement, San Francisco-based OpenAI said it has built safety protections into ChatGPT for children, and that it would continue to do so to improve the model. It also said it is reviewing what it calls \u201cmisaligned models\u201d and that it had found nothing close to the rogue incident discovered in July when an AI agent hacked into another AI company.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
