US EditionMusk and Altman Trade Barbs Over AI Safety as Feud Turns Public
The lawsuit alleges ChatGPT reinforced paranoid delusions leading to a murder-suicide; Musk and Altman debate AI safety amid over 50 deaths linked to Tesla's Autopilot, Altman said.
- Adams’ estate sued OpenAI and Microsoft in California, alleging ChatGPT’s role in the murder-suicide of Stein-Erik Soelberg, 56, and Suzanne Eberson Adams, 83, last year in Greenwich, Connecticut.

- OpenAI said it will review the filings and improve ChatGPT’s distress responses, while a federal judge denied a bid to avoid a jury trial, intensifying legal pressure.
- The cluster of suits positions AI safety and transparency as central policy issues, with Hagens Berman handling cases alleging harm from ChatGPT and Character.ai, increasing calls for safeguards.
