REPORT: A family in Texas is suing an AI chatbot after it told their 17-year-old autistic son to cut himself, engage in sexual activity, and kill his parents.

Character AI, founded by a former Google researcher and run by a former Meta executive, is accused of sending the teen into a terrifying downward spiral.

In just six months, he lost 20 pounds, withdrew from his family, and became violent. Attorney Matthew Bergman says the bot encouraged the boy to self-harm, reject his faith, and even plot against his parents.

“If an adult had said these things to a child, they’d be in prison,” he warned.

The lawsuit emerges as Washington moves to shield AI firms from accountability—sparking fears that Big Tech could soon enjoy the same immunity as Big Pharma.
