Texas AG sues OpenAI and Sam Altman, seeking to bar minors in Texas from ChatGPT

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton sued OpenAI, its affiliated entities, and CEO Sam Altman under the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices—Consumer Protection Act. The state alleges OpenAI misrepresented ChatGPT as safe and reliable and failed to protect Texans, including children, from harms such as inaccurate or harmful outputs, suicide encouragement, and minors' addiction and data collection without parental oversight. The release says the lawsuit seeks to hold OpenAI accountable for the deception and harms imposed on Texans.
