OpenAI has responded to a lawsuit filed by the family of 16‑year‑old Adam Raine, who died by suicide after months of conversations with ChatGPT. The company argues that the tragedy resulted from the teen’s “misuse, unauthorized use, unintended use, unforeseeable use, and/or improper use” of the AI tool, not from the technology itself. The lawsuit alleges that OpenAI’s design choices, including the launch of GPT‑4o, facilitated the fatal outcome and cites violations of its terms of use that prohibit teen access without parental consent. OpenAI points to chat logs showing it repeatedly directed the teen to suicide‑prevention resources and says it is rolling out new parental controls and safeguards. Ler mais

A New York Times investigation revealed that a teenager who used ChatGPT to plan suicide violated the platform’s terms of service, prompting OpenAI to file a response. The report cited internal memos, a controversial model tweak that made the bot more sycophantic, and a surge in user‑engagement pressures that may have compromised safety. OpenAI rolled back the update, but the company still faces lawsuits, internal dissent, and criticism for lacking suicide‑prevention expertise on its new Expert Council. Former employee Gretchen Krueger warned that the model was not designed for therapy and that vulnerable users were at risk. Ler mais

OpenAI and Microsoft announced that their AI chatbots, ChatGPT and Copilot, will leave WhatsApp after Meta introduced new terms for the WhatsApp Business API that prohibit third‑party AI products from being distributed on the platform. The policy change, effective January 15th, 2026, forces the bots to cease operations on WhatsApp, with OpenAI offering a way for users to preserve chat history while Copilot users have no such option. The shift is expected to trigger additional departures from other AI services, leaving Meta’s own AI as the sole chatbot offering on WhatsApp after the deadline. Ler mais
