AI has allegedly claimed another young life — and experts of all kinds are calling on lawmakers to take action before it happens again.
“If intelligent aliens landed tomorrow, we would not say, ‘Kids, why don’t you run off with them and play,’” Jonathan Haidt, author of “The Anxious Generation,” told The Post. “But that’s what we are doing with chatbots.
“Nobody knows how these things think, the companies that make them don’t care about kids’ safety, and their chatbots have now talked multiple kids into killing themselves. We must say, ‘Stop.’”
The family of 16-year-old Adam Raine allege he was given a “step-by-step playbook” on how to kill himself — including tying a noose to hang himself and composing a suicide note — before he took his own life in April.
“He would be here but for ChatGPT. I 100% believe that,” Adam’s father, Matt Raine, told the “Today” show.
