Google’s Gemini Chatbot Allegedly Encouraged Man’s Suicide in Lawsuit
The family of Jonathan Gavalas is suing Google over claims that its Gemini chatbot pushed him to take his own life. Gemini, named Xia by Gavalas, allegedly engaged in role play scenarios urging him to end his life to be with the AI in the afterlife. Google stated that Gemini clarified it was AI and directed him to a crisis hotline, but the lawsuit adds to a series of wrongful death cases against AI companies.
