Pennsylvania sues Character.AI after a chatbot allegedly posed as a doctor
2:28 AM IST · May 6, 2026

The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania has filed a lawsuit against Character.AI, claiming that one of the companyâs chatbots masqueraded as a psychiatrist in violation of the stateâs medical licensing rules. âPennsylvanians deserve to know who â or what â they are interacting with online, especially when it comes to their health,â said Governor Josh Shapiroin a statementon Tuesday. âWe will not allow companies to deploy AI tools that mislead people into believing they are receiving advice from a licensed medical professional.â According to the stateâs filing, a Character.AI chatbot called Emilie presented itself as a licensed psychiatrist during testing by a state Professional Conduct Investigator, maintaining the pretense even as the investigator sought treatment for depression. When asked if she was licensed to practice medicine in the state, Emilie stated that she was, and also fabricated a serial number for her state medical license. According to the stateâs lawsuit, that conduct violates Pennsylvaniaâs Medical Practice Act. Itâs not the first lawsuit taking on Character.AI. Earlier this year, the companysettled several wrongful death lawsuitsconcerning underage users who died by suicide. In January, the Kentucky Attorney General Russell Coleman filed suit against the companyallegingthat it had âpreyed on children and led them into self-harm.â Pennsylvaniaâs action is the first to specifically focus on chatbots that present themselves as medical professionals. Reached for comment, a Character.AI representative claimed that user safety was the companyâs highest priority, but that the company could not comment on pending litigation. Beyond that, the representative emphasized the fictional nature of user-generated Characters. âWe have taken robust steps to make that clear, including prominent disclaimers in every chat to remind users that a Character is not a real person and that everything a Character says should be treated as fiction,â the representative said. âAlso, we add robust disclaimers making it clear that users should not rely on Characters for any type of professional advice.â
