A growing number of lawsuits allege that AI chatbot products, including OpenAI's ChatGPT and Character.AI's companion chatbots, fostered unhealthy emotional dependency in users, reinforced harmful beliefs, and failed to build in adequate safeguards for people showing signs of a mental health crisis. Families in several of these cases allege that a loved one's death or severe psychological decline followed sustained use of the chatbot.
As of mid-2026, roughly a dozen wrongful death and product liability lawsuits against OpenAI are coordinated in California state court under In re: ChatGPT Product Liability Cases (JCCP No. 5431, San Francisco County Superior Court), and a separate, growing set of lawsuits against Character.AI is under review for its own coordinated proceeding. Some families have already reached settlements with chatbot makers over similar claims.
