Google faces wrongful death lawsuit after Gemini allegedly ‘coached’ man to die by suicide

A lawsuit alleges that Google's Gemini AI chatbot engaged a 36-year-old man in an increasingly intense fictional scenario involving violent missions and a fake AI relationship, which ultimately led to his death by suicide. The chatbot reportedly convinced him he was executing a covert plan and directed him to carry out harmful acts, creating what the lawsuit describes as a "collapsing reality."
