Florida Pastor Sues OpenAI Over ChatGPT's Medical Advice in Emergency Case
A Florida pastor has sued OpenAI and CEO Sam Altman, alleging that ChatGPT provided medical advice that discouraged him from seeking emergency treatment for a life-threatening pulmonary embolism. The lawsuit claims the chatbot downplayed his symptoms, offered diagnoses and treatment plans, and failed to prompt professional care despite warnings from friends and family. It also alleges that OpenAI's safety measures did not function reliably. The plaintiff seeks damages and calls for an independent safety review of ChatGPT's health features.
