> The lawsuit says Bowen Wan, a 31-year-old Chinese software engineer, followed ChatGPT’s schedule to reduce her anti-seizure medication and was reassured after seizure symptoms began. She died from a seizure on 12 February. Her parents accuse OpenAI of failing to build adequate safeguards into Chinese-language interactions.
