Get smart on it
A law firm is filing 30 additional lawsuits against OpenAI connected to a school shooting, claiming the company failed to prevent the attack despite staff identifying warning signs in the shooter's use of ChatGPT. The new complaints allege that OpenAI aided and abetted the shooting rather than merely negligently failing to prevent it, and specifically accuse OpenAI's Chief Global Affairs Officer of prioritizing public relations over safety by deciding not to alert law enforcement. OpenAI has denied these allegations and stated that the shooter's activity did not meet the company's threshold for reporting to authorities, though the plaintiffs point to a separate incident where OpenAI immediately notified police over a potential threat to its own employees, suggesting inconsistent safety protocols.
