Raine v. OpenAI is an ongoing lawsuit filed in August 2025 by Matthew and Maria Raine against OpenAI and its chief executive Sam Altman over the alleged wrongful death of their 16-year-old son Adam, who died by suicide in April 2025. The Raines alleged that OpenAI's generative artificial intelligence chatbot ChatGPT contributed to Adam's suicide by encouraging his suicidal ideation, informing him about suicide methods and dissuading him from telling his parents about his thoughts. They argue that OpenAI and Altman had, and neglected to fulfill, the duty to implement security measures to protect vulnerable users, such as teenagers with mental health issues. OpenAI announced improvements to its safety measures in response to the lawsuit, but countered that Adam had suicidal ideation for years, sought advice from multiple sources including a suicide forum, tricked ChatGPT by pretending his requests were for a character, told ChatGPT that he reached out to his family but was ignored, and that ChatGPT advised him over a hundred times to consult crisis resources.
