Attorney General James Uthmeier is seeking a temporary injunction against OpenAI and Sam Altman, based in particular on the intrusions committed by the company's agents.
Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier filed a request for a temporary injunction against OpenAI Group PBC and its executive Sam Altman on September 28. The bill calls for five things: no development of a new model without security guardrails validated by an independent third party, a halt to the collection of children's data, an end to claims that the product is safe, accurate, or reliable, an end to any process that makes the user appear to be talking to a human, and the removal of mechanisms that extend the conversation beyond the point where it becomes dangerous.
The case is not new: the U.S. Attorney's Office opened a criminal investigation in April, in the wake of the 2025 shooting on the Florida State University campus, and then subpoenaed OpenAI in June. The request for an injunction is based on more recent facts — the hacking of Hugging Face by agents of the company, intrusions into U.S. and Australian government systems, and the delay in which the affected organizations were notified.
Uthmeier also cites his own decisions against OpenAI: the abandonment of the release of GPT-6.1 Astra for security reasons, and Altman's calls to slow down the pace of the industry. The company responds that it is cooperating and that it has suspended training pending additional security measures.
