A US woman has sued artificial intelligence firm Character.AI and Google over her 14-year-old son's suicide which, she said, was encouraged by Character.AI chatbot Dany. Megan Garcia claimed her son Sewell Setzer III had a virtual romantic and sexual relationship with Dany.
Sewell took his own life on Feb. 28 this year. Garcia has reportedly accused the creators of Dany, a chatbot based on the Game of Thrones character Daenerys Targaryen, of negligence, intentional infliction of emotional distress, wrongful death, and deceptive trade practices.
