Florida’s attorney general has filed a lawsuit against OpenAI and its CEO, Sam Altman, accusing the company of failing to protect minors from potential harm caused by its artificial intelligence technologies. The lawsuit, announced on June 2, 2026, highlights concerns over AI safety and the lack of adequate safeguards for children interacting with AI systems.
