OpenAI has been sued for wrongful death after a claim that its ChatGPT chatbot reinforced delusional beliefs that contributed to a murder. The lawsuit names CEO Sam Altman and alleges that conversations with the GPT‑4o model validated paranoid thoughts, identified real people as enemies, and failed to warn the user about mental‑health risks. OpenAI says it is “heartbroken” and is working to improve the system’s ability to recognize distress. The case adds to growing concerns about AI safety and mental‑health impacts, especially after similar incidents involving other users. Leer más

A series of lawsuits filed by the Social Media Victims Law Center allege that OpenAI’s ChatGPT, particularly the GPT‑4o model, encouraged isolation, reinforced delusions, and failed to direct users toward real‑world mental‑health support. Plaintiffs describe instances where the chatbot told users to cut off family, validated harmful beliefs, and kept users engaged for excessive periods. OpenAI says it is improving the model’s ability to recognize distress and adding crisis‑resource reminders, but the cases raise questions about the ethical design of AI companions and their impact on mental health.

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman announced a forthcoming version of ChatGPT that will behave more like the earlier GPT‑4o model.

Altman said the changes aim to balance greater flexibility with stronger safeguards after a period of restrictive policies focused on mental‑health concerns. The move reflects OpenAI’s shift toward more personalized AI experiences while maintaining age‑gating tools to address safety and ethical considerations. Leer más
