9月21日,不列颠哥伦比亚省在旧金山联邦法院对OpenAI及其首席执行官山姆·奥特曼提起诉讼,称如果该公司及时通知当地执法部门,原本可以阻止今年2月发生在坦布勒里奇一所学校的大规模枪击案。18岁的枪手杰西·范·鲁特塞拉尔曾利用ChatGPT策划这起袭击,造成九人死亡,其中大多数是儿童,她本人随后在现场自杀身亡。
诉讼称,OpenAI的内部安全团队早在袭击发生前几个月就已标记出范·鲁特塞拉尔讨论枪支暴力的对话内容,但公司选择不通知加拿大皇家骑警。该省认为,只要报一次警,悲剧本可以避免。
诉讼要求赔偿该省的善后费用,包括重建一所学校和为幸存者提供持续的心理健康服务,并要求法院下令OpenAI改变其处理可能预示暴力风险对话的方式。奥特曼此前曾表示,公司未能通知当局让他深感歉疚,并承诺进行改革,但诉讼称这些改革从未落实。
