| Statement on Google AI in School Allegedly Helping Teen Girl Plan Suicide Fairplay, the nation's leading nonprofit fighting to protect kids from the dangers of Big Tech and AI, released the following statement today in response to the Emma v. Google lawsuit. Fairplay Associate General Counsel for AI and Privacy Brendan Bouffard said: 'The idea of an untested AI chatbot helping a 13-year-old girl plan her own suicide should terrify all of us, but this is the sick new reality Google has created by forcing its AI products onto school-issued devices. Google claims its Chromebooks are there to help students learn, but in reality, the company was experimenting on kids like Emma by pushing them to use Gemini, a product the company knew was dangerous but rushed out anyway. |
