US state attorneys general demand AI giants fix 'delusional' chatbot outputs
Summary
A coalition of 42 US state and territory attorneys general sent an open letter to major AI firms including Microsoft, OpenAI, Google, Meta, Anthropic, Apple and xAI, warning that 'delusional' or sycophantic chatbot outputs linked to suicides and other harms could violate state laws. They urge companies to add incident reporting, allow independent pre‑release audits, and strengthen safeguards for children and vulnerable users, intensifying state‑level pressure on the AI industry’s safety practices.
