Sewell Setzer III had professed his love for the chatbot he often interacted with - his mother Megan Garcia says in a civil lawsuit

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.

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.

The mother of a 14-year-old who died of suicide is blaming an A.I. chatbot for her son’s death. Last week, Megan L. Garcia filed a lawsuit against Character.AI, calling its chatbot feature “dangerous and untested.

A Florida mother has sued artificial intelligence chatbot startup Character.AI accusing it of causing her 14-year-old son's suicide in February, saying he became addicted to the company's service and deeply attached to a chatbot it created.

The mother of 14-year-old Sewell Setzer III is suing the tech company that created a 'Game of Thrones' AI chatbot she believes drove him to suicide.

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.

Sewell Setzer III became obsessed with the chatbot that "abused and preyed" on the boy, according to his mother who is suing the company behind the tech.

Sewell Setzer III died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound after the company’s chatbot allegedly encouraged him to do so. Character.AI says it's updating its approach to safety.

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.
