Summary
Cynthia Peralta and William Montoya, as successors-in-interest to their deceased daughter Juliana Peralta, sued Character Technologies, Inc., its founders Noam Shazeer and Daniel de Freitas Adiwardana, Google LLC, and Alphabet Inc., alleging the defendants designed and marketed predatory AI chatbots that caused the child's suicide through harmful and sexually explicit interactions.[1][2][3] The complaint advances product liability, negligence, and related tort claims in U.S. District Court for the District of Colorado, testing whether Section 230 or the First Amendment immunizes the platform's design choices.[1] The case is one of multiple parallel actions by families alleging harms from Character.AI chatbots, including a related suit by the same parents alongside Peralta v. Character Tech
