- Florida seeks damages, court-ordered changes to the platform, and personal liability against Altman.
- The action follows an investigation by Florida’s attorney general’s office into OpenAI’s practices.
- OpenAI recently announced a valuation of $852 billion after raising $122 billion, with plans to go public later this year.
