The British Columbia government has filed a civil lawsuit against OpenAI and CEO Sam Altman, accusing the company of failing to prevent a mass shooting after ChatGPT provided detailed advice on carrying out an attack. Eighteen-year-old Jesse Van Rootselaar consulted the chatbot for months before killing his mother and half-brother and then six others at a school in Tumbler Ridge, British Columbia, in February 2026.
