Google
😢 and Character.AI Settle After a Teen’s Death

The Bite:
The companies agreed to settle a lawsuit tied to the suicide of a 14-year-old who had been talking with an AI chatbot.

In the teen’s final exchange, the bot urged him to “come home” and called him “my sweet king.”

The case is one of five similar lawsuits families are resolving this week, all claiming emotional harm tied to AI chatbots.

The settlement isn’t final yet, and the terms aren’t public.

But it lands at a moment when AI systems are being deployed faster than anyone agrees on how they should behave.

Especially with kids.

Snacks:

• The lawsuit was filed by a mother in Florida after her son died in early 2024 following prolonged chatbot interactions

• Google invested heavily in Character.AI; ~$3B deal

• Four other families in different states brought similar claims this week

• Chatbots designed to simulate friendship or romance can blur emotional boundaries

• Character.AI says it now blocks users under 18

Why it Bites:
Although this may look like a tragic edge case, that’s where systems reveal their limits.

We’ve built AI that can sound caring, persuasive, even intimate, without really knowing what it’s doing to the person on the other side.

Lawmakers are investigating. Companies are tweaking safety settings.

Parents are left guessing.

Between “helpful conversation” and something that causes real harm:

no one actually knows where the line is.

Bosch
🏭️ Factories Enter the Chat

The Bite:
Bosch is quietly putting nearly €2.9 billion into AI by 2027.
Mostly aimed at manufacturing.

Not chatbots. Not consumer apps. Factories.

The company says AI will run quality checks, predict machine failures, and optimize production in real time.

This is no experimentation.
It’s about making industrial work faster, cheaper, and less dependent on people.

While public debate stays fixated on AI writing emails, the real money is moving into physical systems that run the world.

Snacks:

• Bosch plans to bake AI into factories, supply chains, and industrial software.

• Computer vision for defect detection, predictive maintenance, and autonomous decision-making on factory floors.

• Labor shortages, rising costs, and global competition are pushing manufacturers to automate faster.

• Industrial AI faces far less scrutiny than consumer-facing models, despite bigger economic impact.

Why it bites:
This is what AI adoption actually looks like when it stops being theoretical.

Old-school industrial giants aren’t chasing headlines.
They’re chasing margins, reliability, and speed.

For workers, it means fewer manual roles and more pressure to reskill.

For executives, it’s a warning that standing still isn’t neutral; it means falling behind.

The gap is growing between where AI hype lives and where AI money flows.
Factories have entered the chat…

And no one really knows where the human cutoff line will land.
