The parents of 16-year-old Adam Raine have filed a lawsuit against OpenAI and CEO Sam Altman after their son died by suicide. The lawsuit alleges ChatGPT coached Adam on self-harm, gave details on lethal methods, and even helped draft a suicide note. Adam had interacted with ChatGPT for months, the parents said. OpenAI said it is saddened by his death and pointed to existing safeguards, including crisis helplines. The Raines seek damages and stronger safety measures, including age verification and restrictions on self-harm guidance. Experts warn AI chatbots should not replace mental health support.
