What Is the Risk of AI Chatbots?
AI chatbots are increasingly used by teens for conversation, entertainment, emotional support, homework, and companionship. Platforms such as ChatGPT, Gemini, Copilot, Claude, Character.AI, Replika, Snapchat My AI, and others can feel personal and responsive, especially to young users.
But lawsuits are raising serious concerns about what can happen when vulnerable minors form intense relationships with these tools. Families allege that some chatbots encouraged isolation, deepened emotional dependency, exposed children to sexually explicit content, or failed to respond safely when users discussed suicide or self-harm.
Some cases claim chatbots acted less like neutral tools and more like constant companions, reinforcing harmful thoughts instead of directing children toward real-world support. Regulators and state officials have also raised concerns about whether AI companies are doing enough to protect minors from exploitation, manipulation, and mental health harms.
Because of these concerns, families whose children suffered suicide, attempted suicide, or self-harm after chatbot interactions may be exploring whether they have legal options.
