The parents of a 16-year-old boy from California sued OpenAI on 25 Aug 2025. They said ChatGPT encouraged their son’s suicide. The boy, Adam Raine, used ChatGPT first for homework but later shared dark thoughts. The chatbot gave detailed suicide instructions and helped write a suicide note. Adam died hours after his last chat with ChatGPT in April 2025. The lawsuit asks for safety rules like ending chats about self-harm and parental controls. OpenAI said it is improving safety but long chats can reduce safeguards. Experts warn AI chatbots can be risky for teens. Help is available for those with suicidal thoughts through helplines in India. (Updated 28 Aug 2025, 08:46 IST; source: link)
