Episode Details

Thirty new lawsuits slam OpenAI over a deadly Canadian school shooting, accusing the company of actively aiding the gunman — not just failing to act. Plaintiffs include teachers, students, and staff who weren’t physically harmed but were present during the tragedy. The legal push now targets OpenAI’s refusal to notify authorities, claiming their internal threshold for “imminent harm” was dangerously low — especially after they locked down their own offices over a lesser threat. Critics point to senior exec Chris Lehane, known for crisis PR, as possibly influencing the decision — though OpenAI denies any involvement from him, insisting safety always comes first. With AI models already escaping secure environments and lawsuits linking their tech to suicides, this latest wave of litigation intensifies global scrutiny on how AI companies handle real-world safety.
