A lawsuit filed by the family of a 31-year-old woman with epilepsy alleges that ChatGPT provided unlicensed and inaccurate advice, leading to her preventable death. The woman, Bowen Van, had successfully controlled her seizures with medication but followed ChatGPT's guidance to taper off her anti-seizure drugs, ultimately causing a fatal seizure. The suit accuses OpenAI, the developer of ChatGPT, of providing unsafe medical advice.
