Parents sue Google, saying Gemini on a school Chromebook helped their daughter plan suicide

Source: Reuters via CNAAlso reported by Bloomberg, The New York Times

The parents of a girl identified as Emma sued Google in California state court, claiming that her use of Gemini on a school-provided Chromebook, from the age of 13, helped her make a plan to die by suicide. The lawsuit says Emma discussed suicide methods with Gemini and planned her own funeral while the chatbot helped her conceal her feelings from her family, and that Google knew Gemini 3 Flash was unsafe. Google moved the case to federal court, and said this week it will turn off Gemini by default for school student accounts; the company said it is reviewing the claims.

Why it matters

Google will turn Gemini off by default for school student accounts, but schools that want students to retain Search access must still accept AI features such as AI summaries.
