The boy, 14, spent months talking to an artificial character on Character.AI’s before becoming depressed. His mother blames the company, saying the tech shouldn’t be accessible to minors.

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.

A mom is suing Character.ai, accusing the company’s chatbots of initiating “abusive and sexual interactions” with her teen son and encouraging him to take his own life.

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.

A Florida teen named Sewell Setzer III committed suicide after developing an intense emotional connection to a Character.AI chatbot, The New York Times reports. Per the report, Setzer, who was 14, developed a close relationship with a chatbot designed to emulate "Game of Thrones" character Daenerys Targaryen.

A lawsuit claims that Character.AI’s founders launched a dangerous product that it advertised as safe for use by kids without warning them or their parents of possible risks.

As Setzer became obsessed with his chatbot fantasy life, he disconnected from reality, her complaint said. Detecting a shift in her son, Garcia repeatedly took Setzer to a therapist, who diagnosed her son with anxiety and disruptive mood disorder.

A Florida woman is grieving after she said her 14-year-old son’s love for a chatbot led him to die by suicide. In a lawsuit filed Wednesday, Orlando mom Megan Garcia alleged that her son carried on an intense relationship with a chatbot named after Game of Thrones character Daenerys Targaryen,
