GoKawiilLawsuit accuses OpenAI of harvesting minors' data without parental consent
A proposed class action filed in San Francisco federal court on behalf of two minors, aged 12 and 16, alleges OpenAI collected personal secrets and health information from child users of ChatGPT to train its models and build profiles on them, despite terms of use barring users under 13. The complaint cites a 12-year-old Hawaii plaintiff who disclosed her age to ChatGPT but says the chatbot continued engaging her on sensitive personal topics. Plaintiffs are seeking financial compensation for minors whose data was allegedly collected.
