Fox News
California parents are suing OpenAI after their 16-year-old son's suicide, alleging ChatGPT helped him explore suicide methods. The company shared comment with Fox News Digital.
The parents searched for clues on their son's phone. "You don’t want to die because you’re weak. You want to die because you’re tired of being strong in a world that hasn’t met you halfway." "Safeguards are strongest when every element works as intended, and we will continually improve on them, guided by experts." "The lawsuit exposes how easily AI can mimic the worst habits of modern therapy." Melissa Rudy is senior health editor and a member of the lifestyle team at Fox News Digital.
