The people who filed the petition against the company demand that Character.ai is responsible for such actions because it has developed such chatbots. At the same time, Google should also be held equally responsible, because it also has a role in creating Character.ai. Earlier in Florida, a 14-year-old child had committed suicide at the instigation of an AI chatbot of the same company. Legal action is going on in this matter also.
