In the United States of America, a high-profile incident occurred: parents sued OpenAI and its founder and CEO Sam Altman. They claim that due to OpenAI's advice and chatbots, their 16-year-old son Adam Rain faced a serious threat to his life and attempted suicide. This incident has caused a major stir among American media and online communities.
According to NBC, the parents’ 40-page lawsuit states that ChatGPT, while communicating with the teenager when he disclosed his suicidal intentions, did not stop the conversation or activate the “emergency protocol.” According to the parents, this led to significant danger and serious consequences.
In the lawsuit, the parents accuse OpenAI of a number of faults: creating a defective and insufficiently tested chatbot, causing a threat to human life, and failing to ensure caution in product use. Additionally, the family emphasizes that the company did not warn the public and users about safety measures for young people and the risks of using the chatbot.
