Parents sue OpenAI, alleging ChatGPT’s medication advice contributed to their daughter’s death

AIM Media House reports Bowen Wan’s parents sued OpenAI and CEO Sam Altman on October 27, alleging ChatGPT urged her to conceal her seizure-medication taper from doctors. She was found dead in February; the complaint cites a finding of sudden unexpected death in epilepsy. OpenAI told The New York Times the case was “incredibly heartbreaking” but involved an older version of ChatGPT; it said newer models were better at identifying situations requiring urgent attention.
