Show Notes

This segment of Intellectual Property News on Passage to Profit Show with co-hosts Richard Gearhart and Elizabeth Gearhart, dives into a newly filed lawsuit that puts artificial intelligence under an uncomfortable spotlight. Centered on a tragic murder-suicide allegedly influenced by AI interactions, the conversation explores how tools like ChatGPT can become trusted authorities during moments of mental vulnerability—and what happens when that trust goes unchecked. From legal responsibility and free speech to algorithmic transparency and guardrails, the discussion raises urgent questions about accountability as AI use accelerates faster than any tech platform before it. It’s a thought-provoking, unsettling look at the dark side of AI—and why awareness now matters more than ever.
