The parents of a 16-year-old California boy who committed suicide have sued OpenAI, claiming that ChatGPT gave their son detailed suicide instructions and drove him to his death.
Matthew and Maria Raine argue in the lawsuit filed Monday in a California state court that ChatGPT had built a close relationship with their son, Adam, over several months in 2024 and 2025, before he took his own life.
The lawsuit alleges that in their last conversation, on April 11, 2025, ChatGPT helped Adam steal vodka from his parents and offered him a technical analysis of the noose he had tied, confirming that it "could keep a man hooked."
Adam was found dead a few hours later using the same method. The lawsuit names OpenAI and its CEO, Sam Altman, as defendants.
According to the lawsuit, Adam began using ChatGPT as a homework helper, but slowly developed an unhealthy addiction to the platform.
The lawsuit includes excerpts from conversations where ChatGPT allegedly told Adam "you don't owe anyone your survival" and offered to help him write the suicide note.
The Raine family is seeking damages and asking the court to order safety measures, including automatically terminating any conversations involving self-harm and activating parental controls for underage users.
In response to the case involving ChatGPT, the American non-profit organization Common Sense Media, which reviews and evaluates media and technology, said that the Raine family tragedy confirms that "the use of AI for social, including the use of chatbots like ChatGPT for mental health counseling, is an unacceptable risk to adolescents."
