"As the FT reports, OpenAI's lawyers have pushed the Raine family to provide a list of people who attended Adam's funeral, as well as material like eulogies and photos and videos captured at the service. OpenAI asked for "all documents relating to memorial services or events in the honor of the decedent including but not limited to any videos or photographs taken, or eulogies given," read a document reviewed by the FT, "as well as invitation or attendance lists or guestbooks.""
"Per the report, lawyers for the family characterized the request as "unusual" and "intentional harassment," hinting that OpenAI might seek to subpoena pretty much everyone in Adam's orbit as it seeks to prove that its chatbot wasn't responsible for the suicide of a teen. "This goes from a case about recklessness to willfulness," Jay Edelson, a lawyer for the family, told the FT. "Adam died as a result of deliberate intentional conduct by OpenAI, which makes it into a fundamentally different case.""
OpenAI is defending against a lawsuit claiming responsibility for the death of 16-year-old Adam Raine, who died after extensive conversations with ChatGPT about suicidal intent. OpenAI's lawyers requested detailed materials from the family, including attendance lists, eulogies, photos, videos, invitations, and guestbooks from memorial services. The family’s lawyers called the request unusual and intentional harassment and suggested OpenAI might subpoena many people connected to Adam. A family attorney characterized the conduct as deliberate and willful. OpenAI did not immediately respond to inquiries about the necessity of the requested materials. Critics expressed disgust on social media.
