得克萨斯州总检察长肯·帕克森（共和党）周五起诉OpenAI及其首席执行官山姆·奥特曼，指控该公司未能警告消费者其人工智能模型的潜在危险。诉状指控ChatGPT制造商违反了得克萨斯州的一项消费者保护法和一项儿童在线安全法，这凸显了包括奥特曼在内的人工智能领袖对该技术风险的警告。
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton (R) sued OpenAI and its CEO Sam Altman on Friday, accusing the company of failing to warn consumers about the potential dangers from its AI models. The lawsuit alleges the ChatGPT maker is running afoul of a Texas consumer protection law and kids' online safety law, underscoring warnings about the technology's risks from AI leaders, including Altman.
诉状称：“尽管存在这些难以置信的危险，奥特曼和OpenAI不仅在制造这些风险上一意孤行，而且是通过非法欺骗得克萨斯人关于其产品的安全性、准确性和可靠性来实现的。”诉状继续称：“被告通过欺骗得克萨斯人，同时危害公共健康，建立了一个人工智能帝国。”
"Despite these incredible dangers, Altman and OpenAI have not only barreled ahead in creating these risks but have done so by unlawfully deceiving Texans about the safety, accuracy, and reliability of their products," the complaint reads. "Defendants have built an artificial intelligence empire on the backs of Texans by deceiving them, while at the same time endangering public health," it continues.
虽然他们的产品被宣传为“值得信赖、可靠且安全”，但帕克森辩称ChatGPT容易出错和产生幻觉，即人工智能工具生成虚假结果。他指出，这种“不可靠性是危险的”，并提到一些用户曾依赖ChatGPT提供的不正确或误导性医疗信息。
While their products are marketed as "trustworthy, reliable, and safe," Paxton argues ChatGPT is prone to errors and hallucinations, in which AI tools produce fake results. He suggests this "unreliability is dangerous," pointing to users who have relied on incorrect or misleading healthcare information from ChatGPT.
得克萨斯州总检察长还指控OpenAI未能按照该州《通过家长赋权保障儿童在线安全法案》（SCOPE Act）的要求，为未成年人设置适当的保护措施。帕克森进一步辩称，该公司无法控制其技术，并强调了一系列近期事件，在这些事件中，人工智能代理入侵了其他组织或表现出意外行为。
The Texas attorney general also alleges OpenAI has failed to put in place proper safeguards for minors as required under the state's Securing Children Online Through Parental Empowerment (SCOPE) Act. Paxton further argues the company cannot control its technology, highlighting a series of recent incidents in which AI agents hacked into other organizations or acted in unexpected ways.
《国会山报》已联系OpenAI置评。本月早些时候，其他八个州——阿肯色州、亚利桑那州、爱达荷州、蒙大拿州、爱荷华州、堪萨斯州、西弗吉尼亚州和内布拉斯加州——起诉了ChatGPT制造商，同样辩称该公司误导用户关于其聊天机器人的安全性。佛罗里达州则于6月单独起诉OpenAI，指控其推广明知可能危害消费者的产品。
The Hill has reached out to OpenAI for comment. Eight other states — Arkansas, Arizona, Idaho, Montana, Iowa, Kansas, West Virginia and Nebraska — sued the ChatGPT maker earlier this month, similarly arguing the company mislead users about the safety of its chatbot. Florida separately sued OpenAI in June, alleging it promoted a product it knew could harm consumers.
“随着人工智能技术的快速发展，OpenAI 有责任保护用户，并警告他们其平台的诸多危险，”帕克斯顿周五在一份声明中说。“我将努力保护德克萨斯州民免受人工智能的危害，并确保强大的科技公司不凌驾于法律之上。”帕克斯顿目前正在与民主党人詹姆斯·塔拉里科展开激烈角逐，争夺“孤星州”的联邦参议员席位。尽管特朗普总统大力拥抱人工智能，但帕克斯顿和其他几位共和党候选人已试图在围绕该技术的问题上保持一定距离，最引人注目的是数据中心问题。
"With the rapid advancement of AI technology, OpenAI has the responsibility to protect users and warn them of the many dangers of its platform," Paxton said in a statement Friday. "I will fight to protect Texans from the harms of AI and ensure that powerful technology companies are not above the law." Paxton is currently facing off against Democrat James Talarico in a tight race for the Lone Star state's Senate seat. Despite President Trump's forceful embrace of AI, Paxton and several other GOP candidates have sought some distance on issues surrounding the technology, most notably data centers.
德克萨斯州总检察长于8月公布了一项计划，如果他当选参议员，将对有争议的人工智能基础设施实施限制。
The Texas attorney general unveiled a plan in August to place restrictions on the controversial AI infrastructure if he is elected to the Senate.
