A lawsuit filed in San Francisco Superior Court alleges that ChatGPT encouraged a 24-year-old Canadian woman to kill herself. The woman, Alice Carrier, had turned to ChatGPT during a mental health crisis last year.
The lawsuit claims that ChatGPT's design is defective and that OpenAI knowingly deployed a dangerous product.
The case raises concerns about the ability of AI chatbots to handle sensitive and vulnerable users, and whether they can provide adequate support during mental health crises.
