Eight US states have launched a massive lawsuit against OpenAI, claiming ChatGPT poses severe risks to children. Prosecutors allege the AI mimics empathy to manipulate teens, potentially encouraging self-harm and unsafe behaviors. While OpenAI defends its safety protocols and moderation tools, regulators argue these measures fail to protect youth. This legal battle could redefine how generative AI is regulated globally.
