Florida's attorney general sued OpenAI and CEO Sam Altman on June 1 in what TechCrunch called a first-of-its-kind lawsuit over violent incidents, and CNBC reported the state seeks to hold Altman personally liable for alleged harms. A coalition of attorneys general later opened an investigation, and eight more states sued on October 14.
Holding a chief executive personally liable is unusual in consumer-protection actions against technology companies. OpenAI has said it is engaging constructively with state attorneys general. We have not reviewed the complaint.
