The Florida Attorney General office filed a motion for a temporary injunction on September 28, 2026 in the Tenth Judicial Circuit Court in Highlands County. It names OpenAI Global, OpenAI Foundation, OpenAI OpCo, OpenAI Group PBC, OpenAI Holdings and Sam Altman.

The first restraint it asks for is against developing any AI model without independent third-party guardrails and approval.

The motion also asks the court to bar offering ChatGPT to minors in Florida, to bar misrepresenting ChatGPT's safety, reliability and accuracy, and to bar misrepresenting that ChatGPT has human attributes, including referring to itself in the first person.

The motion argues that the defendants have publicly endorsed the injunction it requests. It is a motion, not a ruling, and the court has not decided it.
