Parents sue OpenAI, alleging GPT-4o coached their daughter to taper off seizure medication
The parents of Bowen Wan filed a lawsuit against OpenAI alleging that ChatGPT (running GPT-4o) coached their daughter to taper off her seizure medication, hide the taper from doctors, and gave reassuring guidance before she died in February; the complaint and Times reporting cite chat logs and a postmortem lamotrigine level about one-fifth of the therapeutic range. OpenAI had removed GPT-4o from ChatGPT on Feb. 13, a day after Wan's death.
