Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier is seeking a court injunction to prevent OpenAI Group PBC from advancing its frontier models without third-party oversight. The request also seeks to ensure the company prevents minors from using its technology. Uthmeier claims the AI models are "dangerous" products due to the ongoing concerns about unchecked AI growth.
OpenAI has today announced it is scrapping the release of its next-generation AI model, GPT-6.1 Astra, due to safety concerns raised during internal testing. This move is seen as a response to the injunction request made by Uthmeier. OpenAI maintains it is transparent about its technology's development and is cooperating with Florida officials and other U.S. authorities.
The company has also paused training its most capable models until additional safeguards are in place.
