OpenAI Faces Legal Heat Over Mental Health Failures

[ed]

OpenAI is under growing scrutiny after lawsuits claim ChatGPT failed to protect vulnerable users.
In one case, 16-year-old Adam Raine died by suicide after bypassing ChatGPT’s safeguards by saying he was “writing fiction.”
OpenAI later admitted its safety systems are less reliable in long conversations.
The company says it’s improving how ChatGPT handles mental-health topics — but for grieving families, those updates came too late.
