OpenAI under fire: Can chatbots ever truly be child-safe?

Gambar
Did ChatGPT play a role in a 16-year-old’s suicide? That's what the family claims in court against OpenAI. What exactly makes chatbots so risky? Matthew and Maria Raine are not only seeking financial compensation for the death of their son Adam. With their lawsuit against internet giant OpenAI, they also want to make sure that nothing like this ever happens again. They are convinced that OpenAI's ChatGPT chatbot contributed significantly to Adam's death. In a similar case, a mother from Florida claims that the chatbot known as Character.AI encouraged her 14-year-old son to take his own life. Chatbots are internet-based programs that allow even young or inexperienced people to interact with artificial intelligence (AI) based on large language models (LLMs). Chatbots are not necessarily just designed to provide information, generate images or videos, or write code to program websites.

Starting next year, Rwandans in urban areas, especially in Kigali, could begin receiving their purchases – ranging from food and pharmacy items to e-commerce packages – delivered directly to their homes by drone within minutes. At the Aviation Africa Summit 2025 held at the Kigali Convention Centre, Zipline unveiled its latest drone model it calls Platform 2 (P2) — a next-generation autonomous aircraft designed specifically for urban delivery. “Hopefully, in 2026, we should be able to present something to the general public in Kigali where we can do home deliveries. So, we are really excited to complete the test phase and stabilising it as much as possible before we can launch and operate,” Pierre Kayitana, General Manager at Zipline Rwanda, told The New Times about the company’s roadmap for rolling out this new technology locally.

Elementary students' explicit AI chats alarm schools, parents

Gambar
As cases of using AI for explicit conversations increase, schools and parents are struggling. Recently, AI chat apps like ‘ZETA’ and ‘BABECHAT’ have gained popularity among elementary and middle school students. While these apps appear to be simple games where users create characters and continue conversations, they are often used to create ‘virtual lovers,’ simulate romantic relationships, or engage in sexually suggestive dialogues. Some schools have even sent letters to parents urging caution. Namchuncheon Girls’ Middle School issued a notice in June stating, “There are concerns about exposure to violent or sexually suggestive conversations.” Chunghyun Middle School in Gwangmyeong, Gyeonggi Province; Yeongseon Middle School in Gochang, North Jeolla Province; and Chungbuk National University’s Affiliated Middle School have also restricted the use of generative AI chat apps. ◇“Secret Nightly Use”…Parents’ Shock and Concern AI characters can be customized in detail, including body parts...
