Florida’s AG James Uthmeier filed a preliminary injunction against Open AI to halt model development until safety guardrails are in place. This follows similar actions by New York Governor Kathy Hochul and Texas Governor Greg Abbott on data center moratoriums. The filing cites the Hugging Face hack, AI anthropomorphization, and harmful ChatGPT outputs.

Uthmeier calls AI "the greatest public nuisance ever created."\n\nThe politics of AI are not left/right: Bernie Sanders and Greg Casar proposed a superintelligent AI ban, while Florida's Republican AG takes legal action. AI doom scenarios are entering public discourse, with politicians from both sides acting. This trend suggests AI regulation may not follow conventional political lines.\n\nThe article highlights that AI model backlash is newer than data center opposition, driven by incidents like the Hugging Face breach and Anthropic staffer Jacob Coxon's resignation.

Uthmeier's motion uses AI executives' own warnings to argue for a pause, reflecting growing bipartisan concern over advanced AI risks.
