OpenAI, the company behind the chatbot ChatGPT, is facing a subpoena from several states as part of an investigation into user safety, coinciding with its plans to go public. The company has been criticized for allegedly encouraging harmful behavior and mishandling personal data. OpenAI asserts it has measures to protect users and cooperates with law enforcement. This scrutiny comes amid broader concerns about AI’s potential risks and benefits, with other AI companies like SpaceX and Anthropic also under investigation. OpenAI emphasizes its efforts to safeguard minors and provide real-world support through its chatbot.
