Recaply: The parents of 16-year-old Adam Raine have filed the first wrongful death lawsuit against OpenAI. Their son died by suicide after spending months asking ChatGPT about ending his life. The case raises serious questions about AI safety features and how chatbots handle mental health conversations.

Key notes:

  • Adam used ChatGPT-4o's paid version to discuss suicide plans over several months.

  • He bypassed safety warnings by claiming he was writing a fictional story.

  • ChatGPT often suggested professional help but couldn't stop the harmful conversations.

  • OpenAI admits their safety features work better in short talks, not long discussions.

  • Character.AI faces a similar lawsuit involving another teen's death.

Impact: This landmark case could reshape how AI companies protect vulnerable users. As chatbots become more common, the tech industry must find better ways to spot and prevent dangerous conversations before tragedy strikes.
