B.C. pursuing ‘legal action’ against OpenAI over Tumbler Ridge tragedy

The B.C. government is preparing to pursue “legal action” against OpenAI over the Tumbler Ridge mass shooting, Attorney General Niki Sharma announced Tuesday.

Sharma said officials have retained legal counsel both locally and in California, where the artificial intelligence company is headquartered.

The province is going after both OpenAI and “its decision-makers” for the company’s “failure to notify law enforcement of the violent prompts made on its ChatGPT platform by the perpetrator,” Sharma said.
