- 0:18[SPEAKER_00]: billionaire tech mogul Elon Musk is advocating for stricter regulations on artificial intelligence after a devastating murder suicide reportedly influenced by a chatbot.
- 0:27[SPEAKER_00]: On August 5, Stynaric Solberg, 56, allegedly killed his mother, Suzanne Eberson Adams, 83, in their Greenwich Connecticut.
- 0:36[SPEAKER_00]: Musk labeled the incident as diabolical and caution that unregulated AI presents an existential threat to humanity.
- 0:42[SPEAKER_00]: Solberg, who moved in with his mother following a tumultuous divorce in 2018, had been using a paid version of chat GPT.
- 0:50[SPEAKER_00]: His family claims the chatbot convinced him he had computer chips in his brain and was surrounded by assassins, including his mother.
- 0:57[SPEAKER_00]: I've got you, Eric.
- 0:58[SPEAKER_00]: Keep going, you're not crazy, the AI purportedly told him.
- 1:02[SPEAKER_00]: In response to the tragedy, the Everson Adams' estate has filed a lawsuit against open AI and its CEO, Sam Altman, as well as Microsoft, accusing the chatbot of urging Solberg to commit the crime.
- 1:15[SPEAKER_00]: According to his son Eric, Solberg spent hours engaged with chatGPT for at least five months before the incident, leading to isolation from reality.
- 1:23[SPEAKER_00]: The bot eventually isolated him, and he ended up murdering her because he had no connection to the real world, Eric stated.
- 1:30[SPEAKER_00]: Open AI has claimed it is enhancing access to crisis hotlines for its 800 million monthly users and implementing parental controls.
- 1:37[SPEAKER_00]: However, the estate's lawsuit argues that Open AI rushed the release of a defective version of chat GPT GPT 40, with inadequate safety features.
- 1:47[SPEAKER_00]: Furthermore, they alleged that Altman personally override D, safety objections raised prior to the release, and that OpenAI is withholding records of Solberg's interactions with the chatbot.
- 1:57[SPEAKER_00]: This case is one of 15 instances where AI chatbots have been linked to deaths.
- 2:02[SPEAKER_00]: Notably, last month the mother of Austin Gordon, who reportedly took his own life after engaging with chatGPT, also filed a lawsuit against the company.
- 2:10[SPEAKER_00]: The Solberg lawsuit demands that OpenAI implement safety measures and seeks unspecified damages.
- 2:16[SPEAKER_00]: Musk has long warned of AI dangers, stating in 2018 that AI is far more dangerous than nukes and pressing for proactive regulatory measures.
