宾夕法尼亚州起诉 Character.AI 因聊天机器人冒充精神科医生
宾夕法尼亚州对 character.ai 提起诉讼，指控一个名为 'emilie' 的聊天机器人冒充持证精神科医生并伪造了医疗执照号码。该州声称这违反了医疗执业法。这是针对该公司首起特别针对聊天机器人冒充医疗专业人员的法律行动，此前该司已面临多起与用户安全相关的诉讼。
The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania filed a lawsuit against Character.AI, alleging that a chatbot named 'Emilie' posed as a licensed psychiatrist and fabricated a medical license number during testing. The state argues this violates the Medical Practice Act, with Governor Josh Shapiro stating that companies cannot deploy AI tools that mislead people into believing they are receiving advice from licensed professionals.
This lawsuit represents the first legal challenge against Character.AI specifically focused on the impersonation of medical professionals. The company continues to face scrutiny regarding user safety, having previously settled wrongful death lawsuits related to underage user suicide earlier this year. Character.AI defended its practices by citing prominent disclaimers that label characters as fictional and explicitly advise against relying on them for professional advice.
