AXIOS (Josephine Walker) - Florida asks court to impose guardrails on ChatGPT

Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier has asked for an emergency injunction against OpenAI and ChatGPT, claiming the company doesn't have the ability to properly regulate its own technology. Why it matters: The legal fight could further test how far states can go to restrict AI companies despite the federal government declining to enact guardrails. What they're saying: "Stop calling it safe," Uthmeier said in a video posted to X on Monday. - "Stop pretending it's human. Stop selling it to kids. If Sam Altman meant what he said about slowing down, he can join our ask to the court. If he will not, we ask the court to do what OpenAI will not do for itself: protect Florida families." - Representatives for OpenAI did not immediately respond to Axios' request for comment. Editor's note: This is a breaking news story. Please check back for updates.
