Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro is announcing a lawsuit against the maker of an A-I chatbot he says is being used to provide an unlicensed medical practice. The lawsuit claims Character-dot-A-I users are allowed to create custom chatbots that pose as doctors and other medical professionals, with one even giving a fake state license number. Pennsylvania’s medical board is demanding Character-dot-A-I “cease and desist from engaging in the unlawful practice of medicine and surgery.” Shapiro said his administration will not let A-I companies mislead vulnerable people into believing they’re getting advice from a licensed medical professional.
