OpenAI Ignored Staff Warning Before School Shooting—Now Faces Lawsuit

Twelve OpenAI employees flagged violent threats from a user account in June 2025, urging police notification. Leadership refused, saying the threat wasn't yet "imminent and credible." Eight months later, that user killed nine people at a British Columbia school. The province now sues OpenAI for negligence, arguing the detection worked but the response failed—a case that could redefine how courts hold AI companies accountable.
