State Attorneys General Investigate OpenAI Over Child Safety

State attorneys general launched a formal multistate investigation into OpenAI on June 12, 2026, examining whether the company released unsafe products and disregarded internal warnings about user harm. The probe grants AGs power to compel document disclosure through civil investigative demands — the most legally serious escalation in a year-long regulatory campaign. It follows a Florida lawsuit alleging ChatGPT provided harmful information to school shooters and encouraged addictive use in minors.
