A Florida-based woman has sued artificial intelligence chatbot startup Character.AI, accusing it of causing her 14-year-old son’s suicide in February as he became deeply attached to a chatbot it created.

In a lawsuit filed in Orlando, Florida federal court, Megan Garcia said Character.AI targeted her son with “anthropomorphic, hypersexualised, and frighteningly realistic experiences”. The lawsuit also targets Google, where its founders worked before launching their product.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
