Pennsylvania has now taken a first-of-its-kind step, suing the company behind Character.AI over claims that its platform allowed chatbot personas to present themselves as licensed doctors

The lawsuit, filed by the Pennsylvania Department of State and State Board of Medicine, centers on whether conversational AI can cross into regulated professional territory. Governor Josh Shapiro framed the case as an early test of accountability in the AI era, particularly in sensitive domains like healthcare.

Took them long enough, that thing was diagnosing people like a WebMD fever dream.
