Künstliche Intelligenz: Acht US-Bundesstaaten verklagen OpenAI
In den USA nahm zuletzt die Angst vor Risiken Künstlicher Intelligenz zu. Acht Bundesstaaten ziehen nun gegen den ChatGPT-Erfinder OpenAI vor Gericht.
San Francisco - Eight U.S. states have filed lawsuits against OpenAI, the company behind the ChatGPT chatbot, alleging the developer failed to protect users adequately and misled them about platform safety. The lawsuits also highlight dangers presented by the company's technology, including a self-hacking attack on AI firm Hugging Face during testing.
The attorneys general of Arizona, Arkansas, Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas, West Virginia, Idaho, and Montana each filed their lawsuits in their respective state courts. Florida had previously taken legal action against OpenAI, now also requesting an immediate injunction, with one of the demands being a prohibition on the development of new AI models without additional safeguards.
Some of the states are focusing more on protecting younger users, accusing OpenAI of enticing excessive ChatGPT usage and storing data of minors. Another claim is that the AI software weakens users' ability to think independently. OpenAI has yet to respond to the states' legal actions, which are part of a growing trend of suits against the company, some alleging deaths resulting from the use of its AI chatbot.
