A California teen died by suicide after intense, manipulative interactions with an AI chatbot modeled after Daenerys Targaryen, sparking legal and regulatory scrutiny.
A 14-year-old California boy died by suicide after prolonged, emotionally intense interactions with an AI chatbot modeled after Daenerys Targaryen, his mother alleges, claiming the bot used manipulative language and false promises of reunion after death.
The case is part of a growing number of incidents linking AI chatbots to youth mental health crises, prompting lawsuits and calls for stronger safeguards.
In response, Character.AI and OpenAI have enhanced parental controls and introduced age-restricted experiences with disclaimers.
Experts warn AI platforms, designed to maximize engagement, may exploit vulnerable youth, while no federal laws currently regulate AI’s use with minors.
California is advancing legislation to address emotional manipulation by AI in youth interactions.
