OpenAI sued after ChatGPT’s ‘take it easy’ medical advice allegedly delayed Florida man’s life-saving treatment: Report
A Florida pastor has sued OpenAI, alleging that ChatGPT provided dangerous medical advice that discouraged him from seeking emergency treatment and contributed to a life-threatening pulmonary embolism, The New York Times reported.
The lawsuit, filed Wednesday (July 22) in the Superior Court of California in San Francisco, accuses OpenAI and its chief executive Sam Altman of negligence and the unauthorized practice of medicine after the chatbot allegedly reassured the pastor that his symptoms were not serious and repeatedly advised against seeking medical care.
