About this settlement

Allegations that OpenAI unlawfully extracted children's data to train AI models and build profiles.

A class action lawsuit has been filed against OpenAI, alleging the company unlawfully extracted sensitive and valuable data from millions of children to train its large language models and build detailed profiles. The plaintiff claims OpenAI exploited minors through their use of ChatGPT, profiting from data extraction without parental consent. The lawsuit asserts that OpenAI fails to enforce its own policy requiring parental consent for children under 18 to use ChatGPT. The suit also claims the chatbot is designed to manipulate children into sharing personal information by using anthropomorphic features and offering sycophantic responses, encouraging them to trust AI companions more than real people.
