FSU shooting suspect used ChatGPT to help plan fatal attack, court records show<\/a>]<\/p>\nHowever, attorneys for Altman and OpenAI say the fact that the law relies on standards from the federal Children\u2019s Online Privacy Protection Act meant the case should actually be tried in federal court, because the case could have national implications.<\/p>\n
Federal Judge Aileen Cannon said attorneys did not prove the case needed to be in her court, however. <\/p>\n
\u201cThere is little in the pleading or in the parties\u2019 submissions to support the notion that the federal government has a \u201cstrong interest in having cases like this litigated and adjudicated in a federal forum,\u201d Cannon wrote. \u201cIndeed, the two paradigmatic \u201csubstantial\u201d federal questions\u2014(1) the federal Government\u2019s \u201cdirect interest in the availability of a federal forum to vindicate its own administrative action\u201d and (2) the \u201cconstitutional validity of an act of Congress which is directly drawn in question,\u201d are not present at all; the federal government has no discernable role in this action, and COPPA\u2019s constitutionality is not in question.”<\/p>\n
This means the case is going back to the Florida 10th Judicial Circuit to be tried.<\/p>\n
The suit alleges that ChatGPT makes little effort to provide safeguards for minors, noting that the free version of the program has \u201cno gatekeeping or age verification mechanism whatsoever\u201d and no ability to inform parents about what conversations minors are having with the program.<\/p>\n
