Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier filed a motion for a temporary injunction seeking to bar OpenAI from developing new AI models without independent third-party safety approval. The request, part of an existing consumer-protection lawsuit, also seeks limits on minor access, human-like framing, and safety claims. It represents one of the first state-level attempts to impose prior authorization on frontier model development.
