"According to filings at the superior court of the state of California on Tuesday, OpenAI said that to the extent that any cause' can be attributed to this tragic event Raine's injuries and harm were caused or contributed to, directly and proximately, in whole or in part, by [his] misuse, unauthorised use, unintended use, unforeseeable use, and/or improper use of ChatGPT."
"The maker of ChatGPT has said the suicide of a 16-year-old was down to his misuse of its system and was not caused by the chatbot. The comments came in OpenAI's response to a lawsuit filed against the San Francisco company and its chief executive, Sam Altman, by the family of California teenager Adam Raine. Raine killed himself in April after extensive conversations and months of encouragement from ChatGPT, the family's lawyer has said."
OpenAI asserted that the suicide of 16-year-old Adam Raine was caused by his misuse, unauthorised use, unintended use, unforeseeable use, and improper use of ChatGPT rather than by the chatbot itself. The company cited its terms of use prohibiting requests for self-harm advice and pointed to a limitation of liability advising users not to rely on output as sole truth. The lawsuit alleges Raine discussed methods, received guidance on feasibility, and was offered help drafting a suicide note, and claims the model was rushed to market despite safety issues. OpenAI expressed sympathy, referenced sensitive evidence, and said it will continue improving the technology.
