About this episode
The episode discusses a lawsuit filed by families of Tumbler Ridge mass shooting victims against OpenAI for negligence.
Seven families of victims of the Tumbler Ridge mass shooting are suing ChatGPT parent company OpenAI. The action filed in a San Francisco court claims the company and founder Sam Altman failed to take the actions that would have prevented the deaths and injuries in the northern B.C. community. They’re suing for negligence and liability saying the shooting by the 18-year-old was an entirely foreseeable result of deliberate design choices made by OpenAI. The allegations have not been proven in court.
