OpenAI Global, LLC, filed June 1, 2026, in the Circuit Court of the Tenth Judicial Circuit, Highlands County, is a pending state civil enforcement action against OpenAI entities and Chief Executive Officer Sam Altman. The complaint alleges that ChatGPT was marketed as safe while presenting risks of self-harm, violence, addiction, and cognitive harm. It is not a criminal charging instrument. A separately announced Statewide Prosecution investigation of the Florida State University shooting remained open when the civil suit was filed. + +## Verified Facts + +- On June 1, 2026, the Florida Department of Legal Affairs e-filed a civil complaint in the Tenth Judicial Circuit, Highlands County, against OpenAI Global, LLC; OpenAI Foundation (f/k/a OpenAI, Inc.); OpenAI OpCo, LLC; OpenAI Group PBC; OpenAI Holdings, LLC; and Sam Altman.[^1] +- The Attorney General’s office announced the filing the same day as a “first-in-the-nation state-led lawsuit” seeking damages and an end to alleged deceptive and dangerous practices, and stated that a criminal investigation of the April 17, 2025 FSU shooting remained ongoing.[^2] +- The complaint pleads ten counts: four Florida Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act claims (unfair/immoral practices, unconscionable acts, deceptive acts, and unfair practices predicated on alleged COPPA-violative data collection from children under 13); two negligence counts; strict liability for design defect; strict liability for failure to warn; fraudulent misrepresentation against OpenAI; and public nuisance.[^1] +- The COPPA-related FDUTPA count states that the State is not asserting a federal COPPA enforcement claim and instead treats alleged COPPA violations as unfair practices under Florida law.[^1] +- The pleading cites private ChatGPT harm suits, including [Raine v.

After ChatGPT accurately summarized pasted complaint text, it later produced an inaccurate summary accusing Walters of embezzlement when Riehl supplied a URL.[^1] +- Riehl had accepted terms warning that outputs can be incorrect, saw on-screen disclaimers, and had prior experience with fictional ChatGPT responses. He testified that within about an hour and a half he determined the output was untrue and that he did not believe it.[^1] +- Walters testified that he incurred no damages and did not ask OpenAI for a correction or retraction before suing.[^1] +- The court held that, in context — including contradictions, refusals, knowledge-cutoff warnings, and terms-of-use disclaimers — a reasonable reader in Riehl’s position could not have understood the output as stating actual facts, and that Riehl’s subjective disbelief independently defeated defamatory meaning.[^1] +- The court held Walters could not show negligence or, as a public figure, actual malice, and that he could not recover actual, presumed, or punitive damages on that record.[^1] + + +[^1]: `SRC-WALTERS-V-OPENAI-SJ-2025` — Summary-judgment order (May 19, 2025).
