About this episode

The episode discusses the implications of AI chatbots in mental health and the lawsuits against AI companies following tragic outcomes.

Today on the 5: AI companies are facing lawsuits from parents of children who turned to chatbots for advice on how to handle mental illness, in some cases resulting in the worst possible\r outcome . Proponents of these technologies often repsond to calls for regulation and accountability by claiming these are "edge cases", and therefore not numerous enough to warrant oversight. This reasoning leads me to wonder how many dead children is enough to start looking more closely at these products?
