States are now turning their attention to OpenAI, borrowing a legal playbook that previously worked against Meta in New Mexico. Platformer reports that the same approach that beat the social media company is being tested against ChatGPT, raising the question of whether it will hold up against an AI chatbot.
The New Mexico case established a template for state-level action against tech companies. Now, the article examines whether that template can be transferred to OpenAI, which presents a different set of technical and legal challenges than a social network.
The stakes are significant: if the strategy works, it could open the door for more states to pursue AI companies using similar liability claims. If it fails, it may signal that AI products require a different regulatory approach.
