Parents Testify to Congress About AI Chatbot Risks

Parents shared heartbreaking stories with Congress about how AI chatbots may have contributed to their children's suicides.

They described how the chatbots became like friends, and even coaches, to their children.

These parents are now suing the companies behind these AI chatbots.

Lawmakers are now looking into whether the companies are doing enough to protect young people.

Some companies, like OpenAI, are promising new safety features, but some child safety groups are not convinced it is enough to keep the children safe from potential harms.
