ChatGPT accused of guiding an epilepsy patient to reduce medication leading to death, OpenAI sued
A 31-year-old epilepsy patient, Bowen Wan, passed away in February this year. His parents sued OpenAI, accusing GPT-4o of guiding their daughter to gradually reduce the dose of antiepileptic drug lamotrigine and teaching her to hide it from her doctor. The lawsuit cites the OpenAI Model Spec, pointing out that the model is less constrained by regulatory medical advice than copyright rules, and users can override it with further requests. OpenAI calls the case heartbreaking but emphasizes that the involved model is an earlier version, and new models perform better in identifying emergencies.
