"Eight people including five school students, aged 12 to 13, and a 39-year-old teaching assistant were killed by an 18-year-old shooter in the mountain town of Tumbler Ridge on 10 February. It later emerged that the shooter, Jesse Van Rootselaar, who died of a self-inflicted injury, had described violent scenarios involving guns to ChatGPT over several days in June, which an automated review system flagged."
"Open AI, which owns the chatbot, said it felt the account activity did not identify credible or imminent planning and so banned Van Rootselaar's account, but did not notify authorities in Canada. The company later said it found a second account linked to the shooter after the first was suspended."
"The purpose of this lawsuit is to learn the whole truth about how and why the Tumbler Ridge mass shooting happened, to impose accountability, to seek redress for harms and losses, and to help prevent another mass-shooting atrocity in Canada, the law firm Rice Parsons Leoni & Elliott LLP, which is representing the family, said in a statement."
On February 10, an 18-year-old shooter killed eight people, including five school students aged 12-13 and a teaching assistant, in Tumbler Ridge, Canada. The shooter, Jesse Van Rootselaar, had described violent gun scenarios to ChatGPT over several days in June, which OpenAI's automated system flagged. OpenAI banned the account but did not notify Canadian authorities, later discovering a second linked account. The family of critically injured child Cia Edmonds filed a lawsuit against OpenAI seeking accountability, truth about the shooting's circumstances, redress for harms, and prevention of future mass shootings. The 12-year-old victim suffered catastrophic injuries including a head wound above her left eye and permanent cognitive and physical disabilities.
