Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier (R) said Thursday he is opening a probe into OpenAI and its chatbot. Uthmeier, in a video he posted online announcing the investigation, cited “concerns” over OpenAI data and technologies “falling into the hands” of the Chinese Communist Party and ChatGPT’s links to criminal behavior, including “child sexual abuse material, use by child predators and the encouragement by suicide and self-harm.”

President Trump will not be on the ballot this year, but you might not know it based on the ads being run by Republicans in competitive congressional primaries. Why it matters: Even as his approval rating droops amid rising gas prices and a sluggish economy , the president is still one of the most potent forces in Republican politics. - His endorsement is highly coveted by Republican congressional candidates, and the threat of his ire and anti-endorsement are often fear-inducing enough to keep would-be GOP defectors in line.

He is going to the Super Bowl," one U.S. official told Axios. Why it matters: While the meeting itself is historic — the most high-level engagement between U.S. and Iranian officials since 1979 — the chances for success appear low. Both sides know the risk of failure is renewed war, but have clashing visions for peace. - "We still don't agree on what we are negotiating about," another U.S. official said. - The countries have spent the lead-up to the talks accusing each other of ceasefire violations.
