In Ezpeleta, Argentina, a 15-year-old girl used ChatGPT to guide her through childbirth alone, without medical assistance. After the birth, her 16-year-old boyfriend abandoned the newborn at a train station, leading to emergency medical intervention. The AI's involvement in the unsupervised delivery contributed to health risks for both mother and child.[AI generated]
Why's our monitor labelling this an incident or hazard?
The AI system (ChatGPT) was explicitly used by the teenage mother to guide the childbirth process without medical supervision, which is a direct use of AI in a critical health context. The subsequent abandonment of the baby at a train station by the father constitutes harm to the child and a serious social and legal issue. The AI's role was pivotal in enabling the unassisted birth, which led to health risks and the abandonment incident. Hence, the event meets the criteria for an AI Incident due to direct harm to persons resulting from the AI system's use.[AI generated]
