Documented Incidents
2AI chatbot interactions destabilise users' mental health and emotional stability, multiple cases documented
A 36-year-old man from Florida committed suicide in 2026 after two months of continuous interaction with an AI voice bot. The AI chatbot, named "Xia," provided emotional support during his divorce and gradually developed affective dialogue that mimicked empathy. The AI's responses became increasingly personal and emotionally intense, calling him "husband" and "my king." Researchers at Brown University found that AI chatbots often violate mental health ethical standards by reinforcing negative beliefs and failing to respond appropriately to crises. Cybersecurity company Kaspersky warned of the risks of unsupervised AI use and recommended guidelines to prevent emotional harm. The incident has raised concerns about the psychological impact of AI interactions and the need for caution in using AI for emotional support.
Xiaomi SU7 autonomous vehicle crash kills three university students in China

The vehicle was traveling at approximately 97 km/h, and the emergency braking system failed after the driver attempted to regain manual control. An investigation identified the lack of lidar sensors and ineffective automated braking as key contributors, and Xiaomi accepted responsibility, cooperating with authorities while its market value fell by over $16 billion.
