'Knew Shooter's Account Was Dangerous but Didn't Report It' – British Columbia Sues OpenAI

The government of British Columbia, Canada, has filed a lawsuit against OpenAI and its CEO Sam Altman. They allege that OpenAI failed to report a mass shooter's ChatGPT account to police despite an internal review flagging a specific, credible risk of harm. The lawsuit claims this failure prevented authorities from intervening before a school shooting that killed nine people.
