Specifically, the states are<br \/>\ndemanding sitemaps and documentation regarding OpenAI&#8217;s marketing<br \/>\ntactics, user engagement and retention strategies, and its<br \/>\ndata-handling mechanisms for consumer personal and health data.<\/p>\n<p>Regulators are also zeroing in on how the generative AI platform<br \/>\ninteracts with vulnerable populations, requesting specific records<br \/>\non safety policies concerning minors and senior citizens.<\/p>\n<p>In response to the multi-state probe, an OpenAI spokesperson<br \/>\nexpressed the company&#8217;s intent to cooperate fully with regulators.<br \/>\n&#8220;AI is a new and powerful technology, and we work every day to<br \/>\nsafely bring its benefits to people in a responsible way,&#8221; the<br \/>\ncompany said in a statement. &#8220;We take the concerns raised by state<br \/>\nattorneys general seriously and intend to engage constructively<br \/>\nwith their offices.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The multi-state investigation intensifies an escalating legal<br \/>\nstorm for the tech company. Earlier this month, Florida became the<br \/>\nfirst U.S. state to file a direct lawsuit against OpenAI and its<br \/>\nCEO, Sam Altman. Florida authorities accused the company of<br \/>\ndeceptive trade practices and negligence, alleging that OpenAI<br \/>\nknowingly released an unsafe product and minimized risks regarding<br \/>\nhow the chatbot could harm minors, exploit user data, and spread<br \/>\nhazardous misinformation.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.azernews.az\/region\/259698.html\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>OpenAI investigated by 42 US State attorneys general over safety and data privacy https:\/\/www.azernews.az\/region\/259698.html Publish&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":272247,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.azernews.az\/media\/2026\/06\/13\/openai_logo_150225.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-272246","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-privacy"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/272246"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=272246"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/272246\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":272248,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/272246\/revisions\/272248"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/272247"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=272246"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=272246"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=272246"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
