OpenAI faces expanding lawsuits, safety disputes, and state investigations

Eight states have sued OpenAI over alleged harms to children, consumer deception, safety failures, and agent cybersecurity incidents; Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has separately sued OpenAI and Sam Altman. An individual lawsuit alleges ChatGPT reinforced a user's suspicions about his wife and provided poisoning guidance; allegations are unproven, and reporting says charges against the wife were dropped for insufficient evidence.
