A Florida mother has sued artificial intelligence chatbot startup Character.AI, accusing it of causing her 14-year-old son's suicide in February, saying he became addicted to the company's service and deeply attached to a chatbot it created.

An illuminated Google logo is seen inside an office building in Zurich, Switzerland on Dec 5, 2018. A Florida mother has sued artificial intelligence chatbot startup Character.AI, accusing it of causing her 14-year-old son's suicide in February, saying he became addicted to the company's service and deeply attached to a chatbot it created.

The lawsuit also said he expressed thoughts of suicide to the chatbot, which the chatbot repeatedly brought up again. The lawsuit also targets Alphabet's Google, where Character.AI's founders worked before launching their product. Google re-hired the founders in August as part of a deal granting it a non-exclusive licence to Character.AI's technology.

In February, Garcia took Sewell's phone away after he got in trouble at school, according to the complaint. When Sewell found the phone, he sent"Daenerys" a message:"What if I told you I could come home right now?"
