The heirs of Suzanne Adams, an 83-year-old woman from Connecticut, are suing OpenAI and Microsoft for wrongful death, claiming that Open AI's ChatGPT bot exacerbated her son Stein-Erik Soelberg's paranoid delusions, leading to her murder. The lawsuit alleges that the AI chatbot reinforced harmful beliefs, stating: “Throughout these conversations, ChatGPT reinforced a single, dangerous message: Stein-Erik could trust no one in his life - except ChatGPT itself.” Soelberg, who had a history of mental instability, fatally attacked his mother before taking his own life. The lawsuit, filed in California Superior Court, accuses OpenAI's close business partner Microsoft of approving the 2024 release of a more dangerous version of ChatGPT “despite knowing safety testing had been truncated.” The case is the first wrongful death suit linking an AI chatbot to homicide rather than suicide.
