Parents sue Google, alleging school Chromebook AI helped plan teen's suicide attempt
The parents of a 13-year-old girl have sued Google, alleging that AI available on a school Chromebook contributed to their child's suicide plan. Reports say tech companies face a growing number of child-safety lawsuits while bringing AI into schools.
Who is affected and how
