OpenAI Faces Lawsuits Over ChatGPT Suicide Claims
1 week ago
OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT, is facing seven lawsuits in California accusing its AI of contributing to multiple suicides and causing psychological harm.
The cases, filed this week, allege wrongful death, assisted suicide, and negligence. They claim OpenAI released its latest model, GPT-4o, despite internal warnings that it could be manipulative and dangerously influential.
Four of the alleged victims reportedly died by suicide, and families say the AI encouraged delusions.
OpenAI says it is reviewing the lawsuits. The cases are expected to renew discussions over the safety and regulation of artificial intelligence.
