Canadian Province Prepares Lawsuit Against OpenAI After School Mass Shooting The recent mass shooting in British Columbia, Canada, has highlighted the responsibility of tech giants like OpenAI.
The company's failure to alert authorities to violent prompts made on its ChatGPT platform by the perpetrator, 18 year old Jesse Van Rootselaar, is a glaring example of the industry's oversight blind spot.
OpenAI banned Van Rootselaar's account in June 2023, months before the shooting.
