Florida became the first U.S. state to file a lawsuit against OpenAI and CEO Sam Altman on June 2, 2026. The legal action was initiated by the state's Attorney General through an 83-page complaint alleging that rapid commercial expansion and competition in the AI sector were prioritised over user safety. The lawsuit also raised concerns about misleading users regarding potential risks associated with AI systems, inadequate protections for minors, and the alleged facilitation of harmful activities. The case marked a significant development in the evolving debate over AI regulation, accountability, and consumer protection in the United States.
