An interesting incident occurred in the United States. This was reported by Zamin.uz.
A pair of parents have sued the OpenAI company and its founder and CEO Sam Altman. According to their claim, the use of chatbots and advice developed by OpenAI seriously endangered the life of their 16-year-old son, Adam Ryan.
The young boy faced a suicide attempt. This incident is widely discussed in US media and social networks.
According to NBC channel, the parents' lawsuit states that during communication with ChatGPT, the boy expressed suicidal intentions, but the chatbot did not detect this situation and did not activate the emergency protocol. According to the parents, this led to great danger and serious consequences.
The lawsuit accuses OpenAI of developing defective and insufficiently tested chatbots. It also emphasizes that the company failed to take precautionary measures regarding the use of a product that could endanger human life and did not provide adequate warnings about safety for young users.
The family accuses the company of not informing young people and their parents about the risks of using chatbots. This case is being considered in court and will lead to further discussions on ensuring the safety of artificial intelligence systems in the future.
