Prompt to Sue

The Sunshine State is taking OpenAI to civil court.

Florida’s attorney general filed an 83-page complaint against OpenAI on Monday, alleging the company knowingly misled the public about ChatGPT’s safety, particularly for minors. The suit follows a criminal investigation opened in April tied to the 2025 FSU shooting; the accused gunman allegedly consulted ChatGPT before killing two people and injuring six.

Meanwhile, AI companies are racing to Wall Street. 

Anthropic—best known as the maker of Claude—filed paperwork on Monday to go public as early as this fall, potentially before rival OpenAI. While its financials remain private for now, Anthropic said it raised money at a $965B valuation last month, surpassing OpenAI’s $852B valuation in March. Meanwhile, SpaceX (which owns xAI) is expected to fetch a $1.7+ trillion valuation when it IPOs later this month.

CHRISTIAN RESPONSE
As courts discuss the effect of AI on society, it’s a good moment for personal reflection on AI’s effect on our lives, relationships, and heart-habits. Whatever tools or technology we adopt, our aim should be to use them wisely and in ways that increase the fruit of the Spirit in us. 

“Walk by the Spirit and you will certainly not carry out the desire of the flesh… The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.”
Galatians 5:16, 22-23 (CSB) (read full passage)
