00:02A bipartisan group of eight states filed lawsuits against OpenAI on Wednesday,
00:07alleging ChatGPT has encouraged users, including teenagers, to harm themselves or others,

00:15encourages dangerous behavior, and helps users plan violence, including mass shootings.
00:19Attorneys general from Iowa, Kansas, Arizona, Arkansas, Idaho, Montana, Nebraska,
00:26and West Virginia accuse OpenAI of violating consumer protection laws by misleading users
00:31about ChatGPT's safety. The states are seeking monetary penalties, damages, and changes to how

00:43can ensure they align with human values. The lawsuits add to dozens of private legal challenges
