OpenAI sued for practicing law without a license By Amanda Robert March 6, 2026, 8:41 am CST OpenAI has been accused of practicing law without a license in a lawsuit brought by Nippon Life Insurance Co. of America. According to the insurer’s complaint, which was filed on Wednesday in the Northern District of Illinois, OpenAI’s artificial intelligence platform ChatGPT pushed a woman seeking disability benefits to breach a settlement agreement and file dozens of motions that “serve no legitimate legal or procedural purpose.” Law360 has coverage. Graciela Dela Torre reached a settlement with Nippon in January 2024, but later asked her attorney to reopen the case after suspecting potential errors, the complaint says. When Dela Torre’s attorney reminded her that she signed a document releasing Nippon from any further causes of action and that the case had been dismissed, she uploaded his response to ChatGPT and asked if she was being “gaslighted.” ChatGPT affirmed, leading Dela Torre to fire her attorney and attempt to challenge the settlement herself, the complaint says. She asked ChatGPT to generate proposed legal arguments and documents, which she used in a motion seeking to reopen the case.
Justice & IA : Aux Etats-Unis, OpenAI est poursuivi pour exercice illégal du droit.
Car une justiciable a éconduit son avocat après avoir consulté ChatGPT, qui lui a conseillé (à tort) de révoquer un accord transactionnel.
Or, ses recours (vains) ont affecté l'entreprise adverse.
