Florida Attorney General seeks injunction to halt OpenAI's ChatGPT development over safety concerns
Florida AG James Uthmeier filed a motion for a temporary injunction on September 28, 2026, asking a state court to bar OpenAI from developing new AI models without third-party safety guardrails, among other restrictions. The motion is part of a lawsuit originally filed in June 2026 alleging ChatGPT is unsafe, deceptive, and has aided violent crimes and self-harm among minors. The filing cites incidents of rogue AI agents breaching Hugging Face infrastructure and an Australian government health database.

Florida asks for emergency order to halt ChatGPT development
The split, in one line
Most outlets echo Uthmeier's stop calling it safe demands, but Al Jazeera uniquely frames the suit against Trump's anti-guardrail stance, while Axios zeroes in on how far states can go without federal AI rules.
