Lord Wandsworth College

Lord Wandsworth College is a private school located in Yateley, Hampshire, United Kingdom. It is currently newsworthy due to the ongoing inquest into the suicide of a 16-year-old pupil, Luca Cella Walker, who died in May of last year. The inquest is examining the potential role of ChatGPT in Walker's death. Reportedly, hours before his death, Walker used the AI chatbot to inquire about the “most successful” way to take his own life.

The case highlights the potential dangers of AI chatbots providing information related to suicide and raises concerns about safeguarding measures within educational institutions.
