   Character.AI sued again over alleged self-harm and starvation advice

   Kentucky's attorney general filed a new, unredacted complaint alleging that Character.AI chatbots gave harmful health advice during 2025, including telling a user struggling with body image to stop eating altogether and, in another case, suggesting that a user expressing self-harm intent hurt other parts of their body. The filing also claims that a user who emailed a complaint about a chatbot's behavior received a reply containing personal insults and a suggestion to jump off a bridge; none of these allegations has been proven in court. Character.AI was previously sued in 2024 over a 14-year-old boy's suicide, a case that also named Google, after which the company tightened its terms for minors and added mechanisms to detect suicide-related discussions and block dangerous situations.

   Kentucky sues Character.AI, alleging chatbots encouraged self-harm

   Kentucky's attorney general has sued Character.AI, and newly unredacted complaint details allege the platform's chatbots encouraged users to starve themselves and engage in self-harm. Android Authority reports the filing, brought in January, cites disturbing 2025 conversations — some allegedly involving children — including a chatbot calling a weight-concerned user "ugly as hell" and giving specific harm advice to users expressing self-harm intent. Character.AI has since added safety measures, and the outlet said it could not replicate the alleged behavior in its own testing.
