A Connecticut mother’s estate is suing ChatGPT’s creator, OpenAI, alleging the chatbot played a role in her murder by feeding into her son’s delusions about her.
The complaint alleges that 56-year-old Stein-Erik Soelberg, who had a history of mental health struggles, killed his mother, 83-year-old Suzanne Adams, after ChatGPT fed into his delusions and paranoia about her. Adams’s estate is seeking damages for multiple claims, including wrongful death and negligence.
