Province of BC Sues OpenAI and Sam Altman over Tumbler Ridge School Shooting
theguardian.com British Columbia has sued OpenAI, saying a mass shooting at a school in the Canadian province could have been prevented if the company had warned local law enforcement that the shooter had used ChatGPT to plan the attack.
The shooting is horrible, like all shootings. I'm just wondering if there is already a precedence for this stuff.
Also, are police departments around the world prepared to handle the likely big influx of automated ChatGPT notifications? How will they investigate them? Use an LLM to decide if they should investigate them?
I'm not blaming anyone but I think these questions need to be answered, thought through.
It's an ever increasing trend, especially in the US when the constitution limits what the government can do, so politicians try to jawbone providers of goods or services into doing what the government isn't allowed to do. You basically can't use a bank without unreasonable search, and the same is true for some forms of communications.

I think the issue here is that OpenAI employees were aware of and monitoring the situation, considered it a situation, and decided not to act.
I'm not sure if that's relevant. For all we know, Google's system also flagged the same person and at least 1 human being looked at it.
I think I heard today they were aware the agents where using message boards et al to communicate during the HuggingFace incident, and decided not to look or act then either. Sensing a pattern here
