What this means for you

Nothing to act on yet. This is a complaint, not a ruling, and the indexed excerpt gives no model version, no mechanism of harm and no figure sought. Deployers have no new obligation from it; the thing to watch is Google's response and whether the case survives a motion to dismiss.

A complaint seeking damages and injunctive relief was filed against Google LLC and Alphabet Inc. on 4 November 2026; the plaintiff is identified only as Emma Doe. The AI Incident Database, which indexed the case as incident 1812, says the filing was abridged to 50,000 characters and that the retained excerpts cover allegations about the student's access to Gemini, an ensuing crisis, and the family's intervention. No model version, mechanism of harm or sum sought appears in the indexed material, and Google's response is not included.
