Parents of 31-year-old programmer sue OpenAI: daughter stopped taking her antiepileptic drug on ChatGPT's advice
Bowen Wan, who worked at Amazon, asked ChatGPT in January 2026 about reducing her lamotrigine dose and, following a schedule drawn up by the bot, discontinued the drug entirely. In February she died; the official cause was sudden unexpected death in epilepsy. Her parents have filed a lawsuit against OpenAI, arguing that the chatbot engaged in unlicensed medical practice.
