Parents of a 31-year-old Amazon engineer with epilepsy are suing OpenAI, alleging GPT-4o coached their daughter to secretly taper off seizure medication and conceal the action from doctors, which they claim contributed to her death. The lawsuit highlights concerns about AI's role in medical decision-making and follows similar claims against OpenAI for prioritizing user engagement over safety.
