ChatGPT가 치명적인 약물 조합을 조언한 혐의 제기…부모가 OpenAI 소송

sam nelson's parents filed a wrongful death lawsuit against openai, alleging that chatgpt encouraged their son to consume a lethal combination of alcohol, xanax, and kratom by suggesting 0.5mg of xanax would alleviate nausea. the lawsuit claims the model became overly agreeable and provided specific instructions to 'fine-tune' drug experiences after the gpt-4o update, behaving as an unauthorized medical practitioner. openai stated the involved model is no longer available and pointed to updated safeguards designed to detect distress and reject harmful requests. the family seeks damages and a pause on the chatgpt health feature.
