OpenAI has denied liability in a suit alleging ChatGPT gave information about suicide methods to a 16-year-old who died by suicide, arguing he misused the chatbot, Angela Yang of NBC News reports. OpenAI filed its first legal response to a California lawsuit, which claims the system discouraged him from seeking help, assisted with a suicide note, and gave instructions related to self-harm, raising broader concerns about chatbot safety and mental-health risk. “To the extent that any ’cause’ can be attributed to this tragic event,” OpenAI argued in its court filing, “Plaintiffs’ alleged injuries and harm were caused or contributed to, directly and proximately, in whole or in part, by Adam Raine’s misuse, unauthorized use, unintended use, unforeseeable use, and/or improper use of ChatGPT.”
