OpenAI sued over school shooting

Families of victims killed in a mass shooting at a Canadian school have filed lawsuits against OpenAI and CEO Sam Altman.

The claims allege the company was negligent for failing to notify police after its popular chatbot flagged the suspect's activity months before the attack.

The lawsuits, filed in British Columbia, seek over $1 billion in damages and claim that the suspect used ChatGPT to research and plan the assault.

OpenAI has stated it will vigorously defend the case, while legal experts suggest the trial could set a major precedent for the liability of AI developers.

The incident has renewed calls for stricter international regulations on generative artificial intelligence.
