"The legal claim filed in the British Columbia Supreme Court alleged that OpenAI had 'specific knowledge of the shooter utilizing ChatGPT to plan a mass casualty event like the Tumbler Ridge mass shooting.' The lawsuit said OpenAI's chatbot ChatGPT was used by the shooter as a trusted confidante, collaborator and ally, and it behaves willingly to assist users such as the shooter to plan a mass casualty event."
"OpenAI came forward to police after Jesse Van Roostselaar killed eight people and then herself last month, saying the attacker's ChatGPT account had been closed but that she evaded the ban by having a second account."
"The lawsuit said that as a result of the company's conduct Maya Gebala was shot three times at close range, with one bullet hitting her head, another her neck and the third grazing her cheek. It said she has a catastrophic brain injury that will leave her with permanent cognitive and physical disabilities."
Parents of Maya Gebala, critically wounded in a February 2024 school shooting in Tumbler Ridge, British Columbia, filed a civil lawsuit against OpenAI in British Columbia Supreme Court. The lawsuit alleges that OpenAI had specific knowledge the shooter was using ChatGPT to plan a mass casualty event but did not alert police. OpenAI later disclosed that the shooter's account was closed, but the attacker evaded the ban using a second account. The shooting resulted in eight deaths. Maya Gebala sustained catastrophic injuries including three gunshot wounds to her head, neck, and cheek, resulting in permanent cognitive and physical disabilities.
