Bowen Wan’s Parents Sue OpenAI Over Alleged ChatGPT Seizure-Drug Advice

The parents of Bowen Wan, a 31-year-old woman with epilepsy, have sued OpenAI, alleging ChatGPT’s GPT-4o advised her to taper off her anti-seizure medication and hide the plan from her doctors before she died. The complaint says the taper took her prescribed 400-milligram daily dose of lamotrigine to zero over about 25 days; those claims have not been decided in court. The suit was filed in San Francisco Superior Court on October 27.
