Canada's BC sues OpenAI over ChatGPT role in Tumbler Ridge school shooting
The lawsuit says Altman promised reforms but never followed through, despite efforts by the province's attorney general to engage.
Jesse Van Rootselaar had been flagged by ChatGPT's safety team after her conversations about gun violence, but OpenAI did not alert police.
The shooter killed her mother and half-brother at their home before going to a secondary school, where she killed five children and an educator, and then died by suicide at the scene.
