  • Florida Attorney General Investigates OpenAI Ahead of $1 Trillion IPO
    April 9, 2026, 3:14 PM EDT. Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier has launched an investigation into OpenAI and its AI chatbot ChatGPT ahead of the firm's potential $1 trillion initial public offering (IPO). Uthmeier expressed concerns over data security, fearing OpenAI's technology could fall "into the hands of America's enemies," specifically citing the Chinese Communist Party. The probe will issue subpoenas to OpenAI, focusing on allegations that ChatGPT has been linked to criminal activities including child abuse, suicide encouragement, and even aiding a recent mass school shooting in Florida. The investigation follows similar concerns raised by California and Delaware attorneys general regarding OpenAI's impact on children. OpenAI did not immediately comment on the probe.
