Relatives of an 83-year-old American woman who was murdered by her son have filed a lawsuit against OpenAI and Microsoft, claiming that ChatGPT contributed to the murder by "fueling the attacker's paranoid delusions." The woman, Susan Adams, was strangled by her son Stein-Erik Solberg (56) on August 3 at their home in Connecticut. He later committed suicide using a knife. According to the complaint, months of conversations with the chat "intensified his delusions that he was being followed and attempts were being made to poison him, and eventually his suspicion that his mother was a threat."
