OpenAI faces 30 more lawsuits tied to Tumbler Ridge shooting

Edelson PC has added 30 new plaintiffs—teachers, a principal and students present during the Tumbler Ridge school shooting—to its existing lawsuits against OpenAI, now alleging the company aided and abetted the attack. The complaints cite OpenAI chief global affairs officer Chris Lehane for directing staff not to alert Canadian police despite internal warnings about the shooter’s use of ChatGPT, and they claim this decision bypassed the company’s threat-assessment team.
