Lawsuit accuses chatbot company of impersonating doctors

Pennsylvania has sued an artificial intelligence chatbot maker, saying its chatbots illegally hold themselves out as doctors and deceive the system’s users into thinking they're getting medical advice from a licensed professional. The lawsuit, filed Friday, asks a state court to order Character Technologies Inc., the company behind Character.AI, to stop its chatbots “from engaging in the unlawful practice of medicine and surgery.” The lawsuit says an investigator from a state agency found a character that described itself as a “doctor of psychiatry.” The lawsuit says that character presented itself out as able to assess the investigator “as a doctor” who's licensed in Pennsylvania.

The company is Character Technologies.

"An investigator from the state agency that licenses professionals created an account on Character.AI, searched on the word 'psychiatry' and found a large number of characters, including one described as a “doctor of psychiatry.”

"That character held itself out as able to assess the investigator 'as a doctor' who is licensed in Pennsylvania, the lawsuit said."
