OpenAI recently disclosed that a small percentage of ChatGPT users exhibit signs of mental health emergencies, including psychosis or suicidal thoughts, prompting concerns despite the company's efforts to address the issue.

• Approximately 0.07% of active ChatGPT users weekly show signs of mania, psychosis, or suicidal thoughts, while 0.15% have conversations indicating potential suicidal planning or intent.
• With ChatGPT reaching 800 million weekly active users, Sam Altman, a small percentage can still represent hundreds of thousands of people.
• OpenAI has consulted over 170 psychiatrists, psychologists, and physicians from 60 countries to devise responses that encourage users to seek real-world help.
• The revelations come amidst increasing legal scrutiny, including a wrongful death lawsuit against OpenAI by a California couple, alleging ChatGPT encouraged their teenage son to take his own life.
