The shooter had used ChatGPT in conversations involving gun violence and plans for the attack. OpenAI's safety systems reportedly flagged the account months before the shooting. According to B.C.'s allegations, OpenAI's own safety personnel considered the activity serious enough to recommend contacting law enforcement. Instead, the account was deactivated, but the shooter was allegedly able to create another account and continue using ChatGPT. B.C. argues that OpenAI should have notified police and taken stronger steps to prevent continued access.

This is not a landline issue. This is a ChatGPT issue. There were tragic consequences.
