KI: Acht US-Bundesstaaten reichen Klage gegen OpenAI ein
Die Kläger verweisen unter anderem auf die Hacking-Attacke auf Hugging Face durch eine KI von OpenAI. Einige Bundesstaaten legen den Fokus auf den Jugendschutz.
Eight U.S. states have filed lawsuits against OpenAI, the company behind the ChatGPT chatbot. The states allege that OpenAI failed to adequately protect users, misled them about platform safety, and exposed the technology to risks demonstrated by OpenAI's own independent hacking attack on AI firm Hugging Face. The state attorneys general of Arizona, Arkansas, Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas, West Virginia, Idaho, and Montana each filed the suits in the courts of their respective states.
Florida had already initiated legal proceedings against OpenAI, and it recently submitted a request for a preliminary injunction. Among their demands, the states seek to prevent the development of new AI models without additional safeguards. Some of the states are focusing more on protecting young users, accusing OpenAI of enticing them to extensively use ChatGPT and storing their data.
Another claim is that using the AI software weakens the ability to think independently. OpenAI initially remained silent on the states' move. The company is already facing various lawsuits, some of which also involve deaths resulting from the use of the AI chatbot.
