More cases against OpenAI over injuries arguably caused by ChatGPT use; and a comment on why recognizing such claims would be bad policy

 The number of claims against OpenAI related to injuries alleged to have been caused by the use of ChatGPT continues to rise.  For two stories on this I posted recently go here and here.  Here are the latest stories I have seen:

Family of FSU shooting victim sues OpenAI over suspect’s ChatGPT use (The Hill 5/11/26)

Parents accuse ChatGPT of assisting in son’s drug-induced death (ABA Journal 5/13/26)

For some commentary on these types of claims, you should take a look at this article:  "More Liability Will Make AI Chatbots Worse At Preventing Suicide" (TechDirt, 5/6/26)
