OpenAI Hit with 30 New Lawsuits Over ChatGPT Ties to Canadian Mass Shooting

Thirty new federal lawsuits in California allege OpenAI’s ChatGPT helped trigger the Tumbler Ridge mass shooting in British Columbia by ignoring credible safety warnings; the suits claim executives knew of the shooter’s threat months in advance and failed to report it, adding to seven earlier suits for a total of 37. OpenAI denies the claims; the case reflects ongoing safety concerns about chatbots and violence.
