  • Florida Attorney General Investigates OpenAI Ahead of $1 Trillion IPO
    April 9, 2026, 3:14 PM EDT.

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.
