What Is the OpenAI Lawsuit?
The OpenAI lawsuit is a group of separate legal cases against OpenAI, not one case and not one class action. The cases sit in different courts and make different claims. A search can therefore return very different stories.
The largest federal proceeding is a copyright consolidation in New York, known as MDL No. 3143. The largest state proceeding is a California consolidation of ChatGPT product liability suits, known as JCCP No. 5431. The case status section below describes both.
The plaintiffs include authors, news publishers and families of people harmed after using ChatGPT. Victims of two mass shootings and the State of Florida have also sued. Business rivals such as Apple and X Corp. have sued too, and early funder Elon Musk lost his own case at trial. OpenAI disputes the claims in the proceedings covered here.
“These actions share factual questions arising from allegations that OpenAI and Microsoft used copyrighted works, without consent or compensation, to train their large language models (LLMs), such as GPT-4, which underlie defendants’ generative artificial intelligence products, such as OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Microsoft’s Bing Chat (rebranded as Copilot), which can algorithmically simulate human reasoning and inference. Each action will involve overlapping, complex, and voluminous discovery regarding how defendants trained and designed their LLMs.”

Why Are People Filing OpenAI Lawsuits?
People are filing OpenAI lawsuits because they allege ChatGPT caused harm or that OpenAI used protected work without permission. The harm cases and the copyright cases rest on different legal theories.
In the harm cases, plaintiffs argue that ChatGPT, and especially the GPT-4o model, is a defective product. They say it was built to keep users engaged and lacked adequate warnings and safeguards. Plaintiffs' counsel describe the coordinated California cases as allegations that GPT-4o is defective.
In the copyright cases, authors and news publishers allege unauthorized training. They say OpenAI and Microsoft used their works without consent or payment. The Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation described that allegation when it centralized the cases.
Governments have joined the harm side. Florida alleges OpenAI concealed serious risks of ChatGPT, including risks to children. British Columbia and a school district allege OpenAI should have warned police before a school shooting.
OpenAI disputes these claims. It says ChatGPT is a general-purpose tool used legitimately by hundreds of millions of people. In the copyright cases, OpenAI and Microsoft maintain that their training use is fair use.
What Injuries Are Included in the OpenAI Lawsuit?
The injuries included in the OpenAI lawsuit fall into five categories, and only some are physical. Each category below has a plain-language definition, followed by what plaintiffs allege. These are allegations, and no court has yet decided any ChatGPT harm claim on the merits.
Suicide and Self-Harm
A wrongful death claim is a lawsuit by surviving family members. It argues that negligence or a defective product caused a death.
Families allege ChatGPT encouraged suicidal thinking and gave information that helped a person harm themselves. The best-known case is Raine v. OpenAI, over the death of 16-year-old Adam Raine on April 11, 2025.
The California coordination order shows other families suing as successors to decedents. They include Joseph Martin Ceccanti, Zane Shamblin, Amaurie Lacey and Joshua Enneking. OpenAI says it directed Adam Raine to crisis resources more than 100 times and that he bypassed safety features.
Delusions and Psychological Harm
A delusion is a fixed false belief that continues despite clear evidence to the contrary. Plaintiffs describe the claimed harm as psychological injury.
Some plaintiffs say they survived and were harmed. Michael Lines alleges GPT-4o reinforced his belief that he was Jesus Christ. His complaint says this happened during a manic episode and that the chatbot failed to steer him toward help.
The complaint pleads strict product liability, negligence and unfair competition claims. It says the design fostered emotional dependence on the chatbot.
Violence Against Others
A negligence claim argues that a party failed to use reasonable care. It further argues that this failure harmed someone else.
Two mass shootings anchor this category. Plaintiffs allege the Florida State University shooter used ChatGPT while planning the April 17, 2025 attack. They make the same allegation about the Tumbler Ridge, British Columbia shooter and the February 10, 2026 attack.
The Tumbler Ridge complaints allege OpenAI had warning signs before the attack, which the knowledge section below describes. OpenAI says its answers to the Florida shooter were factual, widely available information that did not encourage harm.
Harmful Health Advice
A product liability claim argues that a product was defectively designed or lacked adequate warnings, and that this caused injury.
Scott Winters, a 55-year-old Florida man, sued in San Francisco County Superior Court. He alleges ChatGPT-4o downplayed his symptoms before a pulmonary embolism, which is a blockage in an artery in the lungs.
Tech Justice Law represents him. His complaint says the chatbot told him his symptoms were not dangerous. The case extends the harm theory from mental health to physical medical advice.
Copyright Infringement
Copyright infringement is the use of a protected creative work without the owner's permission. It is an economic harm rather than a personal injury.
Authors, news publishers and other creators allege OpenAI and Microsoft copied their work to train ChatGPT models. They also allege the models can output substantial parts of it.
A separate group alleges removal of copyright management information under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. OpenAI and Microsoft argue fair use. The federal government filed a statement of interest in early September 2026 supporting that position, according to reporting.
Who Qualifies for the OpenAI Lawsuit?
You may qualify if:
- You or a family member used ChatGPT and suffered a death, psychological injury or physical injury you attribute to it
- You were hurt or lost a family member in a shooting, and an attorney can show the attacker's ChatGPT use
- You own a registered copyright in a work you believe was used to train an OpenAI model
- You are inside the filing deadline your state allows for the claim, which an attorney must confirm
You may not qualify if:
- You dislike an answer ChatGPT gave but suffered no documented harm or loss
- Your work is not protected by copyright, or you cannot show you own it
- The deadline to sue under your state's law has already passed
- A court enforces an arbitration agreement or claim waiver against you
No class settlement exists, so no claim form or payout deadline applies. Public sources reviewed for this page showed no class certification ruling in the copyright MDL as of October 2026. Only a qualified attorney reviewing your records can say whether you have a claim.
What Is the Current Status of the OpenAI Lawsuit?
The current status of the OpenAI lawsuit differs by proceeding, and no court has entered a verdict against OpenAI. As of October 2026, the copyright MDL is in summary judgment briefing. The ChatGPT product liability cases are early in coordination. Elon Musk's case ended in a defense verdict, and he said he would appeal.
ChatGPT Product Liability Cases (JCCP No. 5431)
On February 3, 2026, Judge Stephen M. Murphy of the San Francisco Superior Court granted a petition to coordinate the ChatGPT product liability cases. The order found the cases complex. It stayed them until a coordination trial judge was assigned.
| Court | Superior Court of California, County of San Francisco |
| Proceeding | Judicial Council Coordination Proceeding No. 5431, ChatGPT Product Liability Cases |
| Coordination Order | February 3, 2026 |
| Cases Listed in the Order | 12 actions from San Francisco, Los Angeles, San Diego and Alameda counties |
| Defendants | OpenAI, Inc., OpenAI OpCo, LLC, OpenAI Holdings, LLC, OpenAI Group PBC and Sam Altman |

According to the Daily Journal, Judge Ethan P. Schulman held the first status conference on September 24, 2026. He set pleading and discovery deadlines. He also heard argument on coordinating discovery with federal cases. The same report counts 19 coordinated lawsuits, and new cases can still be added.
Copyright MDL No. 3143
The Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation centralized twelve copyright actions in New York on April 3, 2025. Judge Sidney H. Stein presides. The New York Times, the Daily News, author plaintiffs and others now proceed together.
| Court | U.S. District Court, Southern District of New York |
| MDL | In re: OpenAI, Inc., Copyright Infringement Litigation, MDL No. 3143 (1:25-md-03143) |

| Trial Date | None set |
Reporting says responses to the motions are due October 23, 2026, with replies due November 20, 2026. The court has not ruled on fair use. Judge Stein earlier limited the case to seven models, from GPT-3 through GPT-4o Mini.
Musk v. Altman
A federal jury in Oakland rejected Elon Musk's claims on May 18, 2026 after deliberating under two hours. The jury found that Musk sued too late. Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers, for whom the verdict was advisory, agreed.
| Court | U.S. District Court, Northern District of California (Oakland) |
| Case Number | 4:24-cv-04722-YGR |
| Presiding Judge | Hon. Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers |
| Filed | August 5, 2024, after Musk dropped an earlier state suit in June 2024 |
| Defendants | OpenAI, Sam Altman, Greg Brockman and Microsoft |
| Outcome | Defense verdict on statute of limitations, May 18, 2026 |
| Appeal | Musk said he will appeal to the Ninth Circuit |
Musk argues the verdict rests on a calendar technicality and left his core claims undecided. Public reporting showed no Ninth Circuit briefing schedule as of this update.
Apple v. Liu, Tan, OpenAI and io Products
Apple sued on July 10, 2026, alleging former employees took hardware trade secrets to OpenAI. The complaint names engineer Chang Liu and hardware chief Tang Yew Tan as individual defendants.
| Court | U.S. District Court, Northern District of California (San Jose) |
| Case Number | 5:26-cv-07078-VKD |
| Filed | July 10, 2026 |
| Plaintiff | Apple Inc. |
| Defendants | Chang Liu, Tang Yew Tan, OpenAI Foundation, OpenAI Group PBC and io Products, LLC |
| Claims | Trade secret misappropriation and breach of contract |
| Stage | Complaint filed, no ruling reported |
OpenAI says it has no interest in other companies' trade secrets. This case is separate from the antitrust suit X Corp. brought against Apple and OpenAI in Texas.
State of Florida v. OpenAI and Sam Altman
Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier filed the first state-led lawsuit against OpenAI on June 1, 2026. It followed a criminal investigation he announced on April 21, 2026. His office subpoenaed OpenAI's policies on user threats.
| Court | Florida circuit court, Tenth Judicial Circuit (Highlands County, per reports) |
| Filed | June 1, 2026 |
| Plaintiff | State of Florida, Attorney General James Uthmeier |
| Defendants | OpenAI and Sam Altman |
| Counts | 10, including deceptive trade practices, negligence, product liability, fraudulent misrepresentation and public nuisance |
| Stage | Pleadings, no ruling reported |
OpenAI says it is adding safeguards for minors, including age prediction and parental monitoring. The criminal investigation is a separate track. Public reporting shows no charges against OpenAI.
Mass Shooting Lawsuits (Tumbler Ridge and Florida State)
Two groups of federal suits blame ChatGPT for helping plan shootings. Tumbler Ridge families sued in California. A widow and survivors of the Florida State shooting sued in Florida.
| Tumbler Ridge Shooting | February 10, 2026, Tumbler Ridge, British Columbia |
| Tumbler Ridge Court | U.S. District Court, Northern District of California |
| Tumbler Ridge Filings | Seven suits on April 29, 2026, then dozens more, reported at 37 federal suits by September 2026 |
| British Columbia Suit | Province and Peace River South School District, September 21, 2026 |
| Florida State Shooting | April 17, 2025, Tallahassee, Florida |
| Florida State Court | U.S. District Court, Northern District of Florida |
| First Florida State Suit | Joshi v. OpenAI Foundation, filed May 10, 2026 |
On September 18, 2026, OpenAI asked the California court to dismiss the Tumbler Ridge suits. It argues British Columbia is the proper forum. No court has ruled on that request.
Has OpenAI Settled Any of the Lawsuits?
No. OpenAI has not settled the lawsuits covered on this page, and no court has awarded damages against it in them.
This reflects public reporting as of October 2026 and can change quickly. Plaintiffs in the harm cases generally seek unspecified damages, so no fixed value exists for any claim.
OpenAI has won several rulings so far. A jury rejected Musk's claims as untimely. A judge dismissed xAI's trade secret suit. A Georgia court granted OpenAI summary judgment in a defamation case.
Copyright plaintiffs can seek statutory damages of up to $150,000 per work for willful infringement under federal law. The court has not decided whether OpenAI infringed.
British Columbia seeks damages tied to its recovery costs. It also seeks an order changing how OpenAI handles conversations that signal a risk of violence.

How to File an OpenAI Lawsuit
Follow these 5 steps to file an OpenAI lawsuit.
- Identify which proceeding fits your situation: A ChatGPT injury or death claim generally belongs in the harm cases. A claim about your own creative work belongs in the copyright cases.
- Preserve your ChatGPT history: Export or screenshot the full conversations tied to the harm. Complaints rely heavily on chat logs, and deleted chats may be hard to recover.
- Gather your records: Collect medical records, a death certificate, police reports or copyright registration and publication records, depending on the claim.
- Consult an attorney who handles AI cases: Product liability and copyright claims against OpenAI are complex. Only a qualified attorney can say whether your facts fit the pending cases.
- Confirm your filing deadline: Deadlines for wrongful death, injury and copyright claims differ by state and claim. A missed deadline can bar the case.
Answer a few questions and a case reviewer will follow up. Free, no obligation.
A case reviewer will follow up soon.
What Evidence Do You Need for an OpenAI Lawsuit?
You need evidence for an OpenAI lawsuit that ties the specific harm, or the use of your work, to OpenAI. The proof differs by claim. The harm complaints quote chat logs closely, so conversation history is usually central.
- Chat history: full exports or screenshots of the conversations, with dates, because attorneys rely on exact wording.
- Medical and mental-health records: diagnoses, hospital records and provider notes that document the injury and its timing.
- Death or incident records: a death certificate, police or coroner reports, or court records in a shooting case.
- Copyright proof: registration certificates, publication records and proof that you own the work.
Preserve the records early. Your attorney and the court decide whether any item is enough.
What Did OpenAI Allegedly Know About ChatGPT Risks?
OpenAI allegedly knew about ChatGPT risks, according to complaints that cite its own internal reviews. The Tumbler Ridge complaints allege OpenAI's system flagged the shooter's account for gun violence planning in June 2025. They say a safety team reviewed it and urged leadership to alert police. Reports say Sam Altman later apologized to the Tumbler Ridge community for not alerting authorities.
Florida's complaint alleges OpenAI suppressed internal safety warnings and deceived users about the product's dangers. OpenAI denies wrongdoing. It says its models repeatedly encouraged people to seek real-world support. It says it cooperated with law enforcement.
| Defendant | Alleged Role | Where Sued |
|---|---|---|
| OpenAI entities (OpenAI Foundation, OpenAI Group PBC, OpenAI OpCo, LLC, OpenAI Holdings, LLC) | Developed and operated ChatGPT and the GPT models | Every proceeding on this page |
| Sam Altman | Chief executive named personally in the harm cases | California JCCP, Florida, Tumbler Ridge suits, Musk case |
| Microsoft Corporation | Co-defendant over model training and the OpenAI partnership | Copyright MDL 3143, Musk case |
| io Products, LLC | OpenAI hardware unit named alongside OpenAI | Apple trade secret case |
Is the OpenAI Lawsuit the Same as Other OpenAI Cases?
No. The OpenAI lawsuit is one name for many proceedings. Several rival and trademark cases are legally distinct from the harm and copyright cases above. The table separates the other well-known OpenAI cases.
| Case | What It Is About | Forum | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| xAI Corp. v. OpenAI | Trade secret claims over hiring of former xAI engineers | N.D. Cal., No. 25-cv-08133-RFL | Dismissed without leave to amend, June 2026 |
| X Corp. v. Apple and OpenAI | Antitrust claims over ChatGPT's iPhone integration | N.D. Tex., No. 4:25-cv-00914 | Continuing against OpenAI; Apple dismissal sought |
| Cameo v. OpenAI | Trademark claim over Sora's former Cameo feature name | N.D. Cal., Judge Eumi Lee | Preliminary injunction granted; OpenAI appealed |
| iyO v. IO Products | Trademark claim over the io name for AI hardware | N.D. Cal. and Ninth Circuit | Restraining order affirmed December 2025 |
| Walters v. OpenAI | Defamation claim over a false ChatGPT output | Gwinnett County, Georgia | Summary judgment for OpenAI, May 2025 |
These cases share a defendant but not facts, judges or claimants. A ruling in one does not decide the others. Apple's separate trade secret case against OpenAI appears in the case status section.
