OpenAI sued over dangerous ChatGPT medical advice

OpenAI is facing a lawsuit following allegations that ChatGPT provided dangerous medical advice to a user. The plaintiff, AI Winters, claims that after being ignored by medical professionals, he relied on ChatGPT for health guidance.

According to the complaint, the AI suggested specific medications and physical postures that eventually led to the user collapsing. The lawsuit alleges that OpenAI and CEO Sam Altman prioritized profits over necessary safety measures and failed to warn users about potential risks. The plaintiff is seeking damages and is calling for the implementation of a mechanism that automatically terminates conversations when urgent medical assistance is required.
