Jan 7 (Reuters) - Alphabet's Google and

artificial-intelligence startup Character.AI have agreed to

settle a lawsuit ‌from a Florida woman ​who alleged a Character

chatbot ‍led to the ⁠suicide ⁠of her 14-year-old son, according ‌to

a Wednesday ​court filing.

The filing said the companies ⁠agreed to ‍settle ​Megan

Garcia's allegations that her son Sewell Setzer killed ‍himself

shortly after being encouraged by a Character.AI chatbot

imitating "Game of Thrones" character Daenerys Targaryen.

Terms ​of ‍the settlement were not immediately available. ​The

lawsuit was one of the first in the U.S. against an AI company

for allegedly failing ​to protect children from psychological

harms.
