Silicon Valley erupted into a fierce dispute after Elon Musk publicly warned that OpenAI's ChatGPT had been 'linked to nine deaths,' including five suicides, a claim that has ignited renewed debate over artificial intelligence safety and responsibility.
Musk amplified unverified statistics on X, urging the public to stop using the chatbot, and igniting a sharp response from OpenAI chief Sam Altman, who dismissed the allegations as 'oversimplified and misleading' and counter-criticised Musk's own technologies.
