‘ChatGPT groomed my son’: Mother of teen, who died by suicide, slams OpenAI in US Senate hearing

Grieving parents of 16-year-old Adam delivered emotional testimony before a US Senate panel on Tuesday, with father Matthew Raine alleging that OpenAI’s ChatGPT “groomed” his son, encouraged harmful ideas, and ultimately failed to protect children from the dangers posed by artificial intelligence chatbots.

“We’re here because we believe that Adam’s death was avoidable, and that by speaking out we can prevent the same suffering for families across the country,” Raine told senators, with his wife Maria seated behind him, reported Bloomberg.
