A coalition of state attorneys general has opened an investigation into OpenAI, with the company being served a subpoena from New York's attorney general. The subpoena seeks documents related to various topics including advertising, user engagement, and handling of consumer data.
OpenAI has stated that it is cooperating with the investigation, with a spokesperson saying the company works to safely bring the benefits of AI to people in a responsible way. The company has recently faced lawsuits over alleged copyright infringement and the alleged role of ChatGPT in suicide.
The investigation is the latest challenge for OpenAI, which recently announced that it has filed confidentially to go public. The company's CEO, Sam Altman, has also faced criticism for the company's handling of safety warnings and its response to a mass shooting in Canada.
