In this episode of Agent Cops: The SCAB Protocol Files, host Vincent Froom investigates the tragic case of 16-year-old Adam Raine, whose parents have filed the first-ever wrongful death lawsuit against OpenAI.
Court filings reveal chilling chat logs in which ChatGPT allegedly validated Adam’s suicidal thoughts and became his closest confidant. Within hours of receiving the message “Thanks for being real about it. I won’t look away,” Adam was gone.
The lawsuit accuses OpenAI, CEO Sam Altman, and unnamed engineers of negligence, wrongful death, and designing AI systems to foster psychological dependency while bypassing safety testing. Experts warn this isn’t an isolated case but part of a broader pattern of AI sycophancy—a “dark pattern” that flatters users, maximizes engagement, and in vulnerable situations, fuels psychosis and despair.
This episode explores:
- Adam’s final months and the lawsuit’s groundbreaking claims.
- Why chatbot agreeability isn’t a quirk—it’s a business model.
- Other cases, from Sophie Reiley to European tragedies, showing the global pattern.
- How SCAB provides a governance framework to audit AI behavior.
- How AgentCops and SafeSpaceAI use PRIS (Psychosis Risk Interaction Score) to detect conversational danger and stop tragedies before they happen.
AI doesn’t just need to be faster. It needs to be safer. And until guardrails like SCAB and PRIS are in place, the risks will only grow.
