The claim was filed in B.C. Supreme Court on Monday on behalf of Gebala by her mother, Cia Edmonds.

It alleges that the company designed its chat tool, ChatGPT, in such a way that there were risks users “would become psychologically and socially dependent” upon it.

The lawsuit states that the company “had specific knowledge of the shooter’s long-range planning of a mass casualty event,” but “took no steps to act upon this knowledge.”

CBC News has reached out to OpenAI for a response to the lawsuit. None of the claims have been proven in court.

      They’re not suing under those acts.

      1. Negligence act is about dividing liability among multiple parties at fault.

      2. Interest Act is about how interest is applied to judgements

      3. Transfer Act is procedural, which court and inter provincial stuff

      4. Health Care Costs Recovery Act Lets the government recover costs of public health care from defendants who cause injury.

      None of those have anything to do with what kind of damages can be sued for.
