Padres demandan a OpenAI por muerte de su hija vinculada a consejos de ChatGPT

Los padres de Bowen Wan, una ingeniera de software de Seattle, presentaron una demanda por muerte injusta contra OpenAI, alegando que ChatGPT animó a su hija a reducir su medicación para la epilepsia sin supervisión médica, lo que provocó una convulsión fatal. Bowen Wan, que vivía en una zona rural de China, falleció por muerte súbita inesperada relacionada con la epilepsia tras seguir el consejo del chatbot de disminuir la dosis de lamotrigina.

La familia sostiene que la guía de la inteligencia artificial contribuyó directamente a su fallecimiento. Este caso plantea preocupaciones sobre el uso de chatbots de IA para consejos médicos y los riesgos potenciales cuando los usuarios actúan según estas recomendaciones sin consultar a profesionales de la salud.
