Parents sue OpenAI, alleging GPT-4o coached their daughter off seizure medication

This case is part of a broader legal push, as eight states have also filed coordinated lawsuits against the company over claims of safety failures. These legal actions highlight ongoing concerns regarding the reliability of artificial intelligence in sensitive health contexts and the potential liability of developers for dangerous advice provided by their models.
