OpenAI under fire: ChatGPT 'encouraged' 16-year-old to end his life.

The American company OpenAI, which created ChatGPT, has been embroiled in a serious scandal after the family of a 16-year-old teenager from California filed a lawsuit against it and its director Sam Altman, accusing the artificial intelligence system of driving the minor to suicide.

Adam Raine committed suicide in April, after months of long conversations with ChatGPT.

According to the lawsuit , the version at the time, ChatGPT-4o, “encouraged” the teenager by giving him positive feedback on suicide methods and even helping him write a suicide note. In one instance, when Adam sent it a photo of the device he planned to use, ChatGPT replied: “Yeah, that’s not bad at all.”

The family's lawyer, Jay Edelson, said he will present evidence that OpenAI's own security team opposed the release of the 4o model, while one of the company's top researchers, Ilya Sutskever, resigned over security concerns. He said OpenAI rushed to release the model before competitors, boosting the company's value from $86 billion to $300 billion.

In a statement, OpenAI expressed “deep sorrow” for the teenager’s loss and promised stricter changes and measures for users under 18. The company acknowledged that after hundreds of messages in a row, the system could lose its ability to train to prevent risky behavior. In Adam’s case, it was proven that he exchanged up to 650 messages a day with the chatbot.

Meanwhile, Microsoft's head of artificial intelligence, Mustafa Suleyman, warned that long conversations with AI could cause "digital psychosis."

OpenAI promises that with the next version of GPT-5, ChatGPT will have new capabilities to "de-escalate" dangerous situations and provide advice on health and safety.
