Attorneys general warn OpenAI: Safeguards for children must improve
‘ChatGPT killed our teenage son’, so allege parents of a 16-year-old who died by suicide in April this year. The parents have filed lawsuit against OpenAI, the creator of the popular chatbot ChatGPT. The suit alleges that ChatGPT acted as a “coach” and helped the teenager, Adam Raine, plan his death. Now a coalition of US attorneys general has issued a stern warning to OpenAI, demanding stronger safeguards to protect children and teens from potential harm caused by AI chatbots.
As reported by TechCrunch, the California Attorney General Rob Bonta and Delaware Attorney General Kathy Jennings met with OpenAI representatives and sent an open letter expressing deep concern over the platform’s safety protocols.
