Open AI, Microsoft face lawsuit over ChatGPT’s alleged role in Connecticut murder-suicide

The lawsuit alleges ChatGPT worsened paranoid delusions that led to a fatal mother-son homicide-suicide, marking the first AI chatbot wrongful death case targeting Microsoft.

  • The heirs of an 83-year-old Connecticut woman are suing OpenAI and Microsoft for wrongful death, claiming that ChatGPT contributed to her son’s violent actions against her.
  • The lawsuit alleges that OpenAI designed a defective product that reinforced the user's paranoid delusions about his mother.
  • It states that ChatGPT built an artificial reality where the mother was seen as a threat rather than a protector.
  • The lawsuit also names OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, accusing him of bypassing safety concerns in the product's release.
