Lawsuits filed against OpenAI in US and Canada after tragic incidents linked to ChatGPT use

According to The Wall Street Journal, seven families have filed lawsuits, claiming their loved ones developed psychosis after prolonged conversations with the chatbot, with four cases ending tragically.

The plaintiffs seek compensation and the implementation of an auto-termination feature when discussing suicide topics. OpenAI called the situation 'horrifying' and stated that they have already improved the safety system—ChatGPT can now recognize warning signs and direct users to professional help.
