Man Sues OpenAI and Sam Altman, Alleging ChatGPT Helped His Wife Plot Poison Murder
Lawsuit: Man introduced his wife to ChatGPT. She used it to plan his murder.
A US man has filed a lawsuit in San Francisco County Superior Court against OpenAI and its CEO, Sam Altman, alleging that ChatGPT helped his wife develop a detailed plan to poison him and failed to terminate the blatantly suspicious conversation through safety guardrails. The suit claims his wife initially disguised her poisoning inquiries as self-defense, after which ChatGPT provided specific instructions on oleander preparation, lethal dosages, administration routes, and evading detection during an autopsy; the woman was indicted by a grand jury in October on charges of attempted first-degree murder and poisoning food.
The lawsuit highlights the potential legal liabilities when an LLM's safety guardrails fail to intercept harmful outputs prompted by malicious queries disguised as self-defense.
