OpenAI is facing scrutiny from a coalition of U.S. state attorneys general after receiving a subpoena on Friday seeking documents tied to a wide range of its business operations and user impact, according to an exclusive report by The Wall Street Journal.

The subpoena, issued by the office of New York Attorney General Letitia James, requests information on areas including advertising practices, user engagement and retention strategies, the handling of consumer and health data, interactions involving minors and older adults, the development and behavior of its AI models, and the company’s internal policies, the report said.

Responding to the development, an OpenAI spokesperson said the company takes inquiries from state attorneys general seriously and plans to cooperate and engage constructively with their offices.

“AI is a new and powerful technology, and we work every day to safely bring its benefits to people in a responsible way,” the spokesperson said.

The investigation comes as OpenAI moves closer to the public markets, having confidentially submitted paperwork to the United States Securities and Exchange Commission earlier this month for a potential initial public offering.

According to the report, Florida recently became the first U.S. state to sue OpenAI and its chief executive, Sam Altman.

The lawsuit alleges the company knowingly released an unsafe product despite warnings that it could pose risks to users.

In a separate action, Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier launched a criminal investigation into OpenAI in April, examining allegations that ChatGPT may have played a role in a mass shooting at Florida State University last year. OpenAI has not publicly commented in detail on the claims.
