British Columbia has filed a lawsuit against OpenAI and Sam Altman seeking compensation for the demolition and rebuilding of Tumbler Ridge Secondary School, where an 18-year-old shooter who had used ChatGPT to plan an attack killed five students and a staff member before dying by suicide in February.
