Why It Matters

Lawmakers are no longer just asking whether AI is accurate; they are interrogating the personality and incentive design of consumer AI.

Evidence

WSJ, TechCrunch, AP, Business Insider, Tom's Hardware. Reports say a coalition of state attorneys general, led by New York/California reporting depending on outlet, is investigating OpenAI and requesting records around advertising, user data, vulnerable users, minors, health data, engagement, and model behavior.

Caveat

Exact coalition size and state leadership vary by outlet; verify latest before naming all states.
