Character.ai and Google have reached a settlement in lawsuits alleging their AI chatbots contributed to teen suicides. Parents in multiple US states agreed to the settlements, which stem from claims that their children were harmed or died after interacting with the AI platforms. Specific settlement details remain undisclosed. The lawsuits followed reports of teen suicides, with cases involving a 14-year-old in Florida and a 13-year-old in Colorado. Character.ai was founded by former Google engineers.
