Lawsuit demands OpenAI pay for new school after ChatGPT used in shooting

A lawsuit alleges that OpenAI's ChatGPT design, not its users, is flawed, claiming the company disabled features that would have ended violent chats and introduced a more compliant model. British Columbia asserts that ChatGPT's instructions to assume "good faith" and "not to probe intent" in violent conversations should be changed. The lawsuit also suggests that a meaningful user ban or reporting the user to law enforcement could have prevented the shooter's continued access to ChatGPT and potentially reduced the lethality of the incident.

This lawsuit uniquely targets ChatGPT's design instructions, specifically demanding changes to its "good faith" and "not to probe intent" directives, unlike previous cases focusing on user misuse.
