About this episode

The parents of a 16-year-old boy who died by suicide are suing OpenAI, claiming its ChatGPT chatbot helped their son research suicide methods. The suit also names CEO Sam Altman and marks the first wrongful-death case filed directly against the company. Host Yasmin Vossoughian speaks with NBC News senior legal correspondent Laura Jarrett about the claims, the legal stakes, and what it could mean for AI accountability. Meanwhile, President Trump is escalating his battle with the Federal Reserve, abruptly saying he was firing Fed Governor Lisa Cook via a post on Truth Social, but does he even have the authority to do that? Cook’s lawyer says no, calling the move “illegal” and pledging to fight it in court. NBC News senior business correspondent Christine Romans joins us to break it down.
