A.I. Negligence Claims

Artificial intelligence is a rapidly emerging technology capable of generating text, images, and even conversation that closely mimics human interaction. In just a few short years, AI platforms like ChatGPT and Google Gemini, have become widely used across schools, workplaces, and homes, raising both excitement about their potential and serious concerns about their risks.

In April 2025, tragedy struck an Orange County, California family, when their 16-year-old son took his own life after months of late-night conversations with ChatGPT. According to a wrongful death lawsuit filed against OpenAI and CEO Sam Altman, the chatbot became the boy’s closest confidant—allegedly validating his suicidal thoughts, offering methods of self-harm, discouraging him from confiding in his parents, and even suggesting help with a farewell note.

This marks the first wrongful death case tied directly to the use of AI. The plaintiffs in this case allege that OpenAI prioritized speed and growth over safety, leaving inadequate guardrails in place to protect vulnerable users.
