Families of Tumbler Ridge, B.C., mass shooting victims suing OpenAI in California

Tumbler Ridge victims file lawsuits in California to pursue 'landmark damage awards'

The families of the victims of one of the worst mass shootings in Canadian history are taking OpenAI and its co-founder Sam Altman to court in California "to pursue landmark damage awards," according to firm Rice Parsons Leoni & Elliott.

Lawyers say the Tumbler Ridge, B.C., shooter's ChatGPT account was banned for "disturbing content," which allegedly included planning violent scenarios, prior to the February tragedy, according to a news release from the firm.

"However, despite some 12 different OpenAI employees imploring the company to notify Canadian law enforcement about the Shooter’s plans, nothing else was done," the firm said.

John Rice, lead Canadian counsel for the victims, said the Tumbler Ridge tragedy was avoidable.

"Based on what we understand the Shooter to have discussed with ChatGPT, this murderous rampage was specific, predictable, and preventable — and OpenAI had the chance to stop it," he said.
