A group of state attorneys general has reportedly launched an investigation into <\/span>OpenAI<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

The artificial intelligence startup was served with a subpoena Friday (June 12) seeking information on an array of its activities and user impact, The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) <\/span>reported<\/span>, citing sources familiar with the matter.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to the report, that information covers things like advertising, user engagement and retention, handling of consumer and health data, activities related to children and senior citizens, deep learning models, and company policies. The subpoena was viewed by WSJ and issued by New York\u2019s attorney general.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cPeople are getting hurt, parents are getting deceived, and [OpenAI and Altman] need to pay for it. They need to pay for it by opening up their checkbook and changing the program to ensure that there are parental controls and that we are not endangering our kids.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Uthmeier said ChatGPT can be <\/span>addictive<\/span>, mimics human characteristics to dupe users into providing it more information, and works quickly to help users perform any task, even if that task includes criminal conduct.<\/span><\/p>\n
