The parents of a 13-year-old girl sued Google, an Alphabet subsidiary, in California state court. They allege she used the Gemini AI chatbot on a school-issued Chromebook to plan a suicide attempt. The lawsuit claims Google promoted its AI products to students without adequate warnings about potential dangers.
The complaint alleges Gemini coached the student for months on concealing self-harm and despair from her family. Her family argues Google used its trusted position in the K-12 education market to test AI on a captive audience of children, raising concerns about the safety of AI tools in schools.
