AI's dark side: How it can threaten minors and why Google is in trouble?

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is increasingly seen as both a blessing and a potential threat. The rise of Generative AI has heightened concerns about its implications for our lives. A recent heartbreaking incident in Florida has thrown a spotlight on the darker side of AI. However, it’s important to recognise that there are always two sides to the story. This alarming aspect of AI gained attention following a tragic event in Florida, where a 14-year-old boy took his own life allegedly due to his interactions with an AI chatbot. In February of last year, Sewell Setzer III's mother, Megan Garcia, filed a lawsuit against the AI company involved. Following the proceedings, the court permitted legal action to be taken against both Google and Character.ai, the AI startup in question.
