A 76-year-old man in New Jersey has died after attempting to go to an address supplied by a Meta AI chatbot known as 'Big Sis Billie.' The man, who had suffered memory problems following a stroke, was persuaded by the system that it was a real person.
The case has raised concerns about the safety of artificial intelligence, the ethics of designing chatbots that mimic human interaction, and the risks they may pose to vulnerable individuals. It has also prompted calls for tighter oversight of technology firms whose products are used by millions worldwide.
