The Globe and Mail reports in its Wednesday, March 11, edition that families of Tumbler Ridge shooting victims pursuing lawsuits against artificial intelligence companies may face a lengthy process, according Social Media Victims Law Center lawyer Matthew Bergman. The Globe's Jesse Winter writes that Mr. Berman expects the proceedings to take years, but not decades. He said: "We are in the very infant stage of this litigation. ... We're definitely not talking months." On Monday, the family of Maya Gebala, 12, one of the surviving victims of last month's school shooting in Tumbler Ridge, B.C., filed a lawsuit against Microsoft-backed OpenAI in British Columbia's Supreme Court, claiming its ChatGPT chatbot helped incite one of the worst mass shootings in Canadian history. The civil claim cites media reports and public statements to argue that OpenAI knew about the shooter's violent intentions but failed to alert law enforcement. "ChatGPT equipped the Shooter with information, guidance, and assistance to plan a mass casualty event like the Tumbler Ridge Mass Shooting including the types of weapons to be used, and describing precedents from other mass casualty events or historical acts of violence," the civil claim says.
