The family claims the chatbot offered guidance that influenced the teenager’s decisions, though the exact nature of the interaction and its role in the incident has not been independently verified.
The case has sparked wider debate about the risks of relying on artificial intelligence tools for sensitive or medical-related advice, particularly among young users.
Experts have long warned that AI systems are not a substitute for professional medical or psychological guidance, especially in high-risk situations. Authorities have not yet released detailed findings, and the circumstances surrounding the death remain under investigation.
