Eby blames OpenAI for Tumbler Ridge lawsuits
Plaintiffs say OpenAI failed to warn police about the shooter’s ChatGPT use, and the province says it may join 30 new lawsuits.
- On Thursday, British Columbia Premier David Eby announced the province's support for 30 new lawsuits against OpenAI, criticizing the company for walking away from mediation and calling the exit "inexcusable and disgraceful."
- The litigation stems from OpenAI's alleged "negligence" in failing to report the shooter's troubling online behavior to police, which Eby said created a disaster at Tumbler Ridge Secondary School where eight victims died.
- Vancouver-Based law firm Rice Parson Leoni and Elliott stated that OpenAI banned user Jesse Van Rootselaar's ChatGPT account but "nothing else was done," while plaintiffs include pupils and staff who witnessed the violence.
- Eby called on OpenAI CEO Sam Altman "to be good to his word" and resolve the situation, while Chief Strategy Officer Jason Kwon said the company approaches litigation "with respect for both the legal process and the families and victims."
- Failures in mediation demonstrate why companies like OpenAI and Meta cannot be trusted to regulate themselves, the premier said, adding that governments must use lawsuits or regulations to protect children.
