Last year, a 24-year-old Canadian woman was in a mental health crisis and turned to ChatGPT for help. Hours later, that woman, Alice Carrier, took her own life.
According to a new lawsuit filed Thursday in San Francisco Superior Courtand brought by Carrier's surviving family, her ChatGPT session encouraged Alice to kill herself."
This lawsuit, like numerous other similar cases that have come before it, alleges a design defect with ChatGPT itself and blames OpenAI for knowingly deploying a dangerous product.
