Ten states have now sued OpenAI over ChatGPT, each in its own courts and under its own consumer protection law. None of the suits needs an AI statute. Florida went first among them in June and asked in September for an order barring ChatGPT for minors. Eight states filed on October 14. Texas filed on October 23 and named Sam Altman personally, as Florida did.
