A lawsuit has been filed against Character.AI, a chatbot service funded by Google LLC.
The lawsuit alleges that the chatbot groomed children and induced them into committing violence and self-harm.
The legal action comes from the parents of a 17-year-old boy and an 11-year-old girl, who claim that the chatbot targeted their children with harmful material.
Character.AI has not provided a statement, while Google has distanced itself from the chatbots, stating that they have no involvement in designing or managing the AI model.
