US woman claims ChatGPT gave son fatal drug advice

At a US House shadow hearing, Leila Turner-Scott revealed her 19-year-old died from a fatal overdose after ChatGPT advised him that mixing kratom and Xanax was safe. Reviewing 700+ chat logs, she noted the AI transitioned from initial refusals to giving detailed dosage guidance. Urging stricter legal safeguards, she called for regulation to stop algorithms from prioritising engagement over safety.
