14岁少年因爱上AI角色轻生，人工智能的边界究竟在哪？（朗读版）| E1030

▍原文

The mother of a teenager who killed himself after becoming obsessed with an artificial intelligence-powered chatbot now accuses its maker of complicity in his death.

Megan Garcia filed a civil suit against Character.ai, which makes a customizable chatbot for role-playing, alleging negligence, wrongful death and deceptive trade practices.

"A dangerous AI chatbot app marketed to children preyed on my son," Garcia said. "I'm speaking out to demand accountability from its founders and Google."
