Sewell Setzer III became obsessed with the chatbot that "abused and preyed" on the boy, according to his mother who is suing the company behind the tech.

In a lawsuit filed in Florida, Megan Garcia, whose 14-year-old son Sewell Setzer died by suicide in February, accuses Character.AI of complicity in her son’s death after he developed a virtual relationship with a chatbot based on the identity of “Game of Thrones” character Daenerys Targaryen.

Sewell Setzer III died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound after the company’s chatbot allegedly encouraged him to do so. Character.AI says it's updating its approach to safety.
