Attorneys general from 42 states and territories wrote to tech giants on Dec. 9, warning them to do more to protect people—particularly children—from what they called “sycophantic and delusional” outputs from their generative AI-powered chatbots.
In the letter, made public on Dec. 10, the group of bipartisan attorneys general wrote to the legal representatives of 13 companies, including OpenAI, Microsoft, Google, and Character Technologies Inc., to communicate their concerns over chatbots promoted and distributed by these companies, saying that the companies’ failure to adequately implement safeguards may violate their respective state laws.
