A bipartisan coalition of 42 state attorneys general launched a sweeping investigation into OpenAI. New York’s attorney general leads the inquiry and served the company with a subpoena for business practice documents.
Investigators are examining OpenAI’s handling of consumer and health data, advertising, and product interactions with minors and seniors. Florida separately sued the developer, alleging the company knowingly released an unsafe product.
OpenAI filed for a confidential initial public offering just days before the investigation became public. This probe adds significant legal risk to the company’s IPO plans.
