00:00The parents of a 19-year-old who died after following drug safety advice from ChatGPT
00:04have filed a lawsuit against OpenAI.
00:07And their account of what happened is alarming.
00:10Sam Nelson used ChatGPT to ask whether it was safe to combine Kratom,
00:14a supplement found in health stores across America, with Xanax,
00:18a widely prescribed anti-anxiety medication.
00:22ChatGPT told him it was safe.
00:24It was not.
00:25Sam died.
00:27His parents alleged that OpenAI's AI platform provided dangerous medical guidance
00:32it had no qualification to give,
00:34and that the program's confident, authoritative tone
00:37gave their son false assurance at a fatal moment.
00:41The case is now in California state court.
00:44It is not the first time ChatGPT has faced allegations of providing harmful health information,
00:49and it raises urgent questions about what happens.
00:53When millions of Americans treat an AI chatbot as a medical authority,
00:57it is not qualified to be.
