A Florida mom has filed a lawsuit against Character.AI, an artificial intelligence company, alleging that one of its chatbots encouraged her 14-year-old son to kill himself and failed to recognize the warning signs he typed in.

The mother said her son became infatuated with a chatbot made in the likeness of Daenerys Targaryen and often exchanged messages that were romantic and sexual in nature.

Did a relationship with an Artificial Intelligence chatbot lead 14-year old Sewell Setzer to take his own life?

A lawsuit against Character.ai has been filed in the suicide death of a Florida teenager who allegedly became emotionally attached to a Game of Thrones chatbot.

Megan Garcia’s 14-year-old son, Sewell Setzer, began using Character.AI in April last year, according to the lawsuit, which says that after his final conversation with a chatbot on Feb. 28, he died by a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head.

The lawsuit includes an hour-long screen recording of Character.AI's bots disturbing interactions with a user that identified as a 13-year-old.

The mother of a 14-year-old Florida boy is suing a Silicon Valley AI company, saying its chatbot is connected to his death by suicide.
