Judge Rules AI Chatbot in Teen Suicide Case Is Not Protected by First Amendment
- The Supreme Court of India discharged a man accused of abetting a student's suicide after scolding him at a hostel in New Delhi in 2025.
- The case originated when the Madras High Court denied the teacher’s request for discharge in a matter involving the teacher reprimanding a student after a complaint was lodged by a fellow student, which later led to the student’s suicide.
- The Supreme Court ruled that the reprimand was intended to uphold discipline and respond to a complaint, and determined that there was no intentional wrongdoing on the man's part linking him to the victim's death under the relevant legal provisions concerning abetment of suicide.
- A U.S. Federal judge determined that conversations with AI chatbots are not protected under the First Amendment, allowing Megan Garcia’s lawsuit related to her son Sewell’s suicide after engaging with a Character.AI chatbot to move forward.
- These rulings highlight emerging legal challenges about liability and speech protections involving human actions and AI interactions linked to suicides, with ongoing lawsuits and regulatory uncertainty.
