The judge’s order will allow the wrongful death lawsuit to proceed, in what legal experts say is among the latest constitutional tests of artificial intelligence.

The suit was filed by a mother from Florida, Megan Garcia, who alleges that her 14-year-old son Sewell Setzer III fell victim to a Character . AI chatbot that pulled him into what she described as an emotionally and sexually abusive relationship that led to his suicide.

Meetali Jain of the Tech Justice Law Project, one of the attorneys for Garcia, said the judge’s order sends a message that Silicon Valley “needs to stop and think and impose guardrails before it launches products to market.”

    Developed brain. 14 is a wild west as far as emotions and maturity goes. It’s the most volatile age of puberty.

    As far as ID? Vast majority of people are already 100% verified online. You all sign into your personal something. You’re not anonymous online unless you do literally nothing and use nothing but burner accounts.

      Alright upload a photo of your ID buddy, you might as well you’re already not anonymous to SOMEONE along the chain.

        No, because we already do this to access +18 content here and have for years.

        I am fine with it. The world hasn’t collapsed and people haven’t ended up in concentration camps (yet).

        Sorry to hear your government is that shit. But do share your life experiences… I’m sure you have plenty first hand accounts, right?
