AI brief

Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier is asking a court to bar OpenAI from giving ChatGPT human-like traits, marketing it to minors, and developing new models without independent safety reviews. OpenAI said it has paused work on a related feature.

Why it matters: The request would impose court-ordered restrictions on how OpenAI develops and markets ChatGPT, particularly toward minors.
