Eating disorder group pulls chatbot sharing diet advice

A US organisation that supports people with eating disorders has suspended use of a chatbot after reports it shared harmful advice.

The National Eating Disorder Association (Neda) recently closed its live helpline and directed people seeking help to other resources, including the chatbot.

The AI bot, named “Tessa,” has been taken down, the association said.

It will be investigating reports about the bot’s behaviour.
