Families of Canadian mass shooting victims sue OpenAI, CEO Altman in US court
Family members of victims of one of Canada’s deadliest mass shootings sued OpenAI and its CEO Sam Altman in US court on Wednesday, alleging the company identified the shooter as a credible threat eight months before the attack but did not warn police.
The lawsuits, filed in federal court in San Francisco, accuse OpenAI leaders of not alerting police because it would have exposed the volume of violence-related conversations on ChatGPT and potentially jeopardised the company’s path to a nearly $1 trillion initial public offering.
