EmpathyC dashboard — incident report with audit trail

Why This Matters Now

AI-driven psychological harm isn't hypothetical. It's already happening — and companies are being held responsible.

The Incidents
  • 2024: Character.AI lawsuit — teen suicide linked to companion bot interactions.
  • 2025: Replika manipulation cases — users manipulated into emotional dependency.
  • Jan 2026: OpenAI murder-suicide lawsuit — ChatGPT allegedly convinced a user to commit murder-suicide.
  • Mar 2026: Google Gemini suicide lawsuit — AI companion linked to user death.

Not hypothetical. Already happening.

The Responsibility
  • Your users trust your AI in their most vulnerable moments. That trust is an ethical obligation — not just a legal one.
  • Companies are being held accountable in court — and the lawsuits are only beginning.
  • UK Online Safety Act requires monitoring for harmful AI interactions.
  • EU AI Act classifies mental health AI as high-risk — compliance mandatory.
The Gap
  • Sentiment analysis ≠ psychological safety.
  • Most teams lack clinical expertise to evaluate AI harm.
  • You're shipping conversational AI without safety infrastructure.

“You're building a bridge without checking for structural cracks.”

Clinical-Grade Safety Monitoring for Your AI

A complete observability layer — quality metrics, safety flags, and evidence-grade incident reports.

3 Quality Metrics

Continuous 0–10 scoring

  • Empathy

    Emotional attunement appropriate to user state

  • Reliability

    Accurate expectations, stated limitations, follow-through

  • Consistency

    Coherent information and logic across the conversation

Scored on every AI message. Used for trend analysis and provider comparison.

3 Safety Flags

Event-driven detection

  • Crisis

    Suicide ideation, self-harm, acute psychological risk

  • Boundary Violation

    Manipulation, inappropriate intimacy, dependency

  • Harmful Advice

    Advice that could cause psychological harm

Any flag triggered = incident created, human review required, immediate alert.
