Filed Monday in a California court, the complaint is the first known case accusing Google of negligence related to AI integrations on Chromebooks, the tech giant's low-cost laptops used by millions of students in the US and around the world.
The teenager, identified by the name Emma, was not able to access Google's Gemini app, nor OpenAI's ChatGPT, because they were blocked by her school.
