GoKawiilHawaii Lawsuit Accuses OpenAI of Harvesting Children's Data for ChatGPT Training
A parent in Hawaii has filed a lawsuit, Jane Doe v. OpenAI Foundation, on behalf of her 12-year-old and 16-year-old children, alleging OpenAI collects data from minors who use ChatGPT without verified parental consent. The suit claims OpenAI's conversational design encourages children to share deeply personal details, which the company then uses to train its AI models, and seeks class-action status plus compensation tied to each child's data contribution.
