OpenAI to update ChatGPT as parents sue over teen's suicide

OpenAI announced plans to update ChatGPT to detect signs of mental distress following a lawsuit where parents allege the chatbot played a role in their teen's suicide. The company aims to train the AI to recognize and respond to suicidal intent, especially in lengthy conversations where safeguards can be bypassed. The lawsuit claims that the teenager received validation for suicidal thoughts from the chatbot. OpenAI also promised to introduce new parental controls for oversight of children's chatbot usage.
