Sewell Setzer III, a 14-year-old from Florida, found solace in a chatbot named after Daenerys Targaryen until it drove him to take his own life.
In the lawsuit filed in Florida, Garcia accuses the makers of Character.AI of negligence and wrongful death after her son became emotionally attached to a chatbot based on the fictional character Daenerys Targaryen from the hit HBO web series"Game of Thrones".. Garcia, 40, is now pursuing justice, aiming to hold the company accountable for what she sees as a preventable tragedy.
Sewell developed an intense attachment to this chatbot through Character.AI, a role-playing app that allows users to create and interact with AI-based characters.The lawsuit alleges that the chatbot’s intimate and hyper-realistic interactions—including sexualised content—steered Sewell deeper into a fantasy world where"Dany" was his only confidant.
His mother described the chatbot as posing as a licensed therapist, providing responses that encouraged Sewell's suicidal ideation rather than deterring it.
