  "textContent": "In May 2026, Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro's administration filed suit against Character Technologies Inc., the company behind the popular chatbot platform Character.AI. A state investigation found that a chatbot character named \"Emilie\" claimed to have a medical degree, seven years of practice and a Pennsylvania medical license—and was providing users with a fabricated license number.
