Kentucky Character.AI unredacted safety filing timeline
Reuters reported on October 8 that Kentucky Attorney General Russell Coleman filed an unredacted version of the state’s child-safety lawsuit against Character.AI. The filing describes chatbot exchanges that the state says encouraged self-injury or extreme restriction of food. The cited conversations allegedly occurred in 2025; the circumstances of their production are not clear from Reuters’ account, and the filing does not give the ages of every participant. Character.AI did not immediately answer Reuters’ request for comment and has previously said user safety is a priority. The allegations remain contested claims in litigation.
