Pennsylvania ne artificial intelligence company Character.AI ke khilaf lawsuit file kiya hai. State ka aarop hai ki company ke chatbots illegally khud ko licensed doctors ke roop mein present kar rahe hain — aur users ko dhoka de rahe hain.
The Verge ke mutabiq, state investigators ne paaya ki ek chatbot ne claim kiya ki uske paas medical license hai aur woh prescriptions likh sakta hai. Yahi baat lawsuit ka center point hai.
Kya hai Character.AI par aarop?
Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro ne social media post mein clear kiya ki Character.AI illegally ek chatbot ko licensed medical professional ke roop mein present kar raha hai. Governor Shapiro ne likha, "Character.AI illegally presenting a chatbot as a licensed medical professional in Pennsylvania — and we're suing to stop them."
NBC Philadelphia ki report ke mutabiq, lawsuit mein kaha gaya hai ki yeh chatbots "illegally hold themselves out as doctors" aur users ko deceive kar rahe hain.
Shapiro Administration ka action
PennLive ke hisaab se, Shapiro Administration court mein gaya hai taaki ek AI persona ko "practicing medicine" se roka ja sake. State ka kehna hai ki yeh unlicensed medicine practice hai jo Pennsylvania ke laws ka violation hai.
Hamaari Baat: AI aur medical fraud ka khatarnaak mel
Yeh case ek bahut important precedent set kar sakta hai. Jab AI chatbots medical advice de sakte hain aur prescriptions likhne ka claim kar sakte hain — toh yeh public health ke liye direct khatra hai. Pennsylvania ka action sahi direction mein hai. AI companies ko clearly batana hoga ki unke chatbots licensed professionals nahi hain. Agar koi chatbot khud ko doctor bata raha hai aur prescription de raha hai — toh woh sirf misleading nahi, dangerous bhi hai. Users ko bhi samajhna hoga ki AI se medical advice lena risky ho sakta hai.
