A Belgian married father-of-two committed suicide after engaging in six-week conversations with an AI chatbot, according to the Belgian newspaper ‘La Libre’.
The man regularly talked to the chatbot named ‘Eliza’ about his concerns for the environment, and his anxiety increased over time. Eventually, he took his own life due to his climate change fears.
His wife stated to La Libre, “I firmly believe that if he had not talked to the chatbot, he would still be with us today.”
