The parents of a critically wounded girl filed a civil lawsuit against OpenAI, claiming the company knew about an upcoming school shooting planned using its ChatGPT tool. The incident occurred in Tumbler Ridge, British Columbia, marking one of Canada's worst school shootings.
The lawsuit alleges OpenAI had specific knowledge of the shooter's plans but failed to alert authorities. OpenAI claims it closed the attacker's ChatGPT account but admitted she circumvented the ban by creating another account.
OpenAI has not commented on the lawsuit, which details the severe injuries suffered by Maya Gebala, leaving her with permanent cognitive and physical disabilities due to multiple gunshot wounds.
