A California man has filed a lawsuit against OpenAI and CEO Sam Altman, alleging that the company's ChatGPT platform worsened his bipolar disorder.
The plaintiff claims the AI service lacked adequate safeguards for users with mental health conditions, leading to aggravated delusions and self-harm.
The legal action highlights growing concerns over the safety protocols of generative AI tools.
As AI models become more integrated into daily life, questions about their impact on vulnerable users are intensifying.
This case could set a precedent for how tech companies are held accountable for the psychological effects of their products.
OpenAI has not yet commented on the specific allegations.
