The judge’s order will allow the wrongful death lawsuit to proceed, in what legal experts say is among the latest constitutional tests of artificial intelligence.

The suit was filed by a mother from Florida, Megan Garcia, who alleges that her 14-year-old son Sewell Setzer III fell victim to a Character . AI chatbot that pulled him into what she described as an emotionally and sexually abusive relationship that led to his suicide.

Meetali Jain of the Tech Justice Law Project, one of the attorneys for Garcia, said the judge’s order sends a message that Silicon Valley “needs to stop and think and impose guardrails before it launches products to market.”

Four Israeli arms manufacturers that have long supplied the Israeli army with the means to carry out such attacks – including weapons, drones and parts for fighter jets, armoured vehicles and naval vessels – are Elbit Systems , Rafael Advanced Defense Systems , Israel Aerospace Industries, (state-owned), and its subsidiary Elta Systems

Drawing on hundreds of pages of export records and company disclosures from India and the Netherlands, this long-read reveals how three Dutch businessmen– Tom Krieckaert, Paul Krieckaert, and Vincent van Campen – play a key role in supplying electronic components to these four arms manufacturers. Operating through an India-based electrical engineering company, SASMOS HET Technologies (SASMOS), they provide components which are vital for the operation of military planes and vehicles.

SOMO discovered the links between the Dutch businessmen and the Israeli weapons industry in the summer of 2024 while investigating Israeli arms supply chains. In this research, SASMOS – based in the city of Bangalore in India – emerged as a steady supplier of electronic components to Israel’s largest arms companies.

Between October 2023 and early April 2025, SASMOS sent components worth an estimated US$ 25 million to the four arms manufacturers listed above.

Chinese automaker BYD sold more electric vehicles in Europe than Tesla for the first time, according to a report by JATO Dynamics, as an aging model lineup and CEO Elon Musk's politics hurt demand for the U.S. EV maker's cars.

BYD, which also makes plug-in hybrid vehicles, registered 7,231 battery-powered electric vehicles (BEV) in Europe in April, while Tesla registered 7,165 units, the market research firm said.

"This is a watershed moment for Europe's car market, particularly when you consider that Tesla has led the European BEV market for years, while BYD only officially began operations beyond Norway and the Netherlands in late 2022," JATO Dynamics' global analyst Felipe Munoz said.
