of the tool.\n\n&#8220;The injuries and damages alleged by the plaintiffs were caused or contributed (\u2026) by the misuse, unauthorized, unforeseeable and inappropriate use of ChatGPT by Adam Raine,&#8221; argues OpenAI in a document filed this week with the California Superior Court in San Francisco, according to NBC News.\n\nThe company responded in this way to the lawsuit filed last August by the deceased&#8217;s parents, <strong>Matt and Maria Raine<\/strong>, in which they claim that ChatGPT &#8220;actively helped Adam explore suicide methods.&#8221;\n\nThe Raines believe that both OpenAI and its owner, Sam Altman, are responsible for the death of the teenager by allegedly rushing to market the chat GPT-4o version despite security issues.\n\n\n<p><strong>You may be interested in: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/ab.deultimominuto.net\/tecnologia\/polemica-tras-el-suicidio-de-un-adolescente-senalan-el-uso-inapropiado-de-la-ia-como-factor-de-riesgo\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/ab.deultimominuto.net\/tecnologia\/polemica-tras-el-suicidio-de-un-adolescente-senalan-el-uso-inapropiado-de-la-ia-como-factor-de-riesgo\/\">Controversy after the suicide of a teenager: they point out the &#8220;inappropriate use&#8221;
