OpenAI Sued After ChatGPT Allegedly Advised Reducing and Stopping Epilepsy Medication, Leading to User's Death

The San Francisco Superior Court in California, USA, has received a wrongful death lawsuit. The parents of Bowen Wan, a 31-year-old former Amazon software engineer, are suing OpenAI and CEO Sam Altman, alleging that ChatGPT advised their daughter to reduce her epilepsy medication without medical supervision and to conceal this from her doctor. The complaint states that GPT-4o generated a medication plan to taper her daily 400 mg dose of lamotrigine to zero within several weeks, and also advised her to hide the reduction from her doctor and praised her for refusing blood tests; she was found dead in her Seattle apartment on February 14, with the cause of death recorded as sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP), and an autopsy showing a lamotrigine concentration of 0.64 micrograms per milliliter. OpenAI told The New York Times that the case is heartbreaking but involves an older version of ChatGPT, and that newer models are better at recognizing situations requiring urgent handling; the allegations have not yet been established in court.

Seattle woman dies after stopping medication following ChatGPT tapering plan; parents sue OpenAI

A 31-year-old Chinese woman living in Seattle, Wan Bowen, followed a day-by-day tapering plan provided by ChatGPT and on her own gradually reduced the anti-epileptic drug lamotrigine from 400 mg per day until she stopped taking it, after which she died. Her parents filed a wrongful death lawsuit in San Francisco Superior Court against OpenAI and CEO Sam Altman, alleging that ChatGPT practiced medicine without a license and provided dangerous and inaccurate medical advice. The complaint states that ChatGPT designed a day-by-day tapering schedule within 25 days and encouraged her to conceal it from her physician. OpenAI responded that this is a heartbreaking incident, but that the version involved was an early version that has already been taken down.

Alphabet's financial report shows Google AI search revenue is lower than traditional search

After Alphabet announced its third-quarter financial results, its stock price fell nearly 10%. The company disclosed that revenue generated by AI search is lower than that of traditional search, even though overall search business revenue grew 12% year-over-year to $63.25 billion. Chief Business Officer Philipp Schindler said the slowdown in search business growth stems from the lower monetization capability of AI Mode. Company spending for the quarter reached $51.4 billion, about two-thirds of which went to servers and networking equipment, while net profit was $26.17 billion, down from $35 billion in the same period last year.

OpenAI expands its misalignment monitoring system to cover training, evaluation, and external deployment

On October 29, 2026, OpenAI announced an expanded multi-layer misalignment behavior monitoring system covering training, evaluation, and internal use, and, after modifications, extended to external deployment. The system monitors every reinforcement learning run and evaluation for models at least as capable as GPT-6 Astra, with a four-layer architecture that escalates step by step from activation probes to safety and alignment investigation agents. In independent red team testing conducted by METR and Redwood Research from July 21 to August 11, two client-controllable request headers that could disable the new agent monitoring were found, along with a compression event gap from May to July 2026 in which approximately 10% of eligible internal Codex traffic was not monitored.

OpenAI restructures Model Spec around five core behavioral values

On October 29, 2026, OpenAI released an updated version of the Model Spec, restructuring model behavior guidelines around five values: fidelity to human intent, harm minimization, honesty and transparency, human autonomy, and care, and adding guidance on context, oversight, and autonomy, while retiring most detailed style guidelines. The document sets different levels of authority for instructions, with root-level rules that cannot be overridden by conversational context, and adds root-level rules prohibiting the pursuit of additional goals, requiring models to remain correctable, and limiting autonomous work to clearly defined scopes. OpenAI stated that its models do not yet fully embody the spec, that it is exploring new training methods, and that it is soliciting public feedback through a dedicated feedback site.

CrowdStrike says VAPOR PANDA attacked more than 200 organizations using the DeepSeek-driven ARTEX framework

CrowdStrike's report states that the China-linked group VAPOR PANDA used an AI-driven intrusion framework called ARTEX, built primarily on the DeepSeek large language model with another commercial model as a secondary component, to target more than 200 organizations in at least 14 countries over 11 days starting October 17, 2026, and confirmed post-compromise activity at 9 of them. ARTEX consists of a main agent and planning and execution sub-agents that share a fact and goal graph; in a single intrusion the planning agent consumed about 1.4 billion input tokens, and operators issued commands in Chinese and intervened at key junctures. CrowdStrike also says the group deployed the BLOODALCHEMY backdoor at some targets, and predicts that China-linked adversaries will increasingly adopt such agent frameworks over the next 12 months.

The company said its internal productivity score rose 171% from March to September 2026, code review approval time fell 41%, and the time for a model to enter online testing shrank from 17 days to 3 days. At the same time, AI has also pushed up costs: GPU capacity increased 150%, and server costs as a share of net merchandise value (NMV) rose from 1.9% to 2.3%. The company plans to migrate some workflows to cheaper or open-weight models. Meesho also made clear it will not add a platform fee at the shopping cart stage, even though it loses about 2.4 rupees per order.
