Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier filed a motion for a preliminary injunction against OpenAI in court on September 28, 2026. The filing cites reporting by Axios that top AI labs are investigating tens of thousands of security incidents. In effect, Florida is seeking a halt to further development of ChatGPT. The same day, Nvidia and more than 100 partner companies introduced the Open Agent Safety Platform, combining the tools OpenShell and Sentry to secure AI agents that have internet access.
The filing extends a debate that AI critic Gary Marcus has pushed for weeks; he had already called for a pause at OpenAI in early September and sees Florida's move as vindication. At the same time, Nvidia's platform shows the industry responding to growing concern about autonomous agents operating online without tight oversight. Both events show regulators and vendors working in parallel on guardrails for agentic AI, though at different speeds and with different legal weight.
It remains open whether a court will grant the motion and how far such an injunction would reach. OpenAI has not yet responded to the allegations in detail. Nvidia's actual impact is also unclear: an earlier safety framework, Nemoclaw, drew little attention despite a similar launch. Companies that rely on OpenAI integrations should watch the Florida proceedings closely over the coming weeks.
What this means for decision-makers
- Check which contracts and products in your company depend on OpenAI services.
- Track the Florida court proceedings and any follow-on suits in other states.
- Evaluate safety tools such as Nvidia's agent platform before deploying autonomous agents in production.
