Google is beefing up security measures at Gemini amid lawsuits alleging AI harm. The company will introduce new mental health support features to its Gemini chatbot.
Gemini will feature an interface that will direct users to a support hotline if the conversation indicates a “potential crisis related to suicide or self-harm,” Bloomberg writes .
Additionally, Google is adding a "Help Nearby" module for mental health conversations and making design changes to prevent dangerous actions.
The explosive popularity of Gemini and ChatGPT has a downside: some users are becoming obsessed with the AI bots, which is said to be causing mental disorders and sometimes fatal tragedies. As a result, leading AI developers have faced a series of lawsuits from affected families.
Congress is also investigating how dangerous chatbots can be for the unformed psyches of children and adolescents.
