Google and Character.AI Settle Lawsuits Over Alleged Harm to Minors, Including Suicide Case

Google and AI chatbot maker Character.AI have agreed to settle multiple lawsuits alleging their AI harmed minors, including a Florida case where a mother claimed a chatbot contributed to her son's suicide. The settlements, which cover suits in Florida, Colorado, New York, and Texas, require court approval and terms were not disclosed. Google's involvement stems from a licensing deal and hiring of Character.AI's co-founders. Character.AI previously announced it would remove chat features for users under 18.
