Tumbler Ridge mass shooting victims file 30 new lawsuits against OpenAI

The Guardian

OpenAI faces 30 new lawsuits filed on behalf of victims of the Tumbler Ridge mass shooting. The suits, filed on Wednesday, allege the company's ChatGPT chatbot induced the shooter to carry out the attack in rural Canada in February, in which eight people were killed and dozens more wounded - most of them children. "These were people who really endured just total hell that day," Jay Edelson, the lead lawyer representing the plaintiffs, said in an interview. "Young kids who watched their teachers die, watched friends die and thought they were going to get shot and killed." These new lawsuits, filed in federal court for the northern district of California, come after Edelson filed seven initial suits in April - bringing the total number of cases against OpenAI for the Tumbler Ridge shooting to 37. All of the suits allege that the violent intentions of the shooter, identified as 18-year-old Jesse Van Rootselaar, were well-known to the senior leadership of OpenAI, which failed to report her to the authorities.

US pushes looser approach to AI regulation, while EU pushes new law

Al Jazeera

The European Union and the United States continue to pull in opposite directions on artificial intelligence, with Washington urging other governments to loosen constraints at a recent Group of 20 ministerial meeting. On Tuesday, the US hosted a G20 "innovation" meeting in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, where it put forward arguments against AI-specific regulations. "Policymakers do not need to approach each innovation in isolation and should not treat every emerging technology as a first-of-its-kind policy problem," Kratsios said. Such appeals are part of Trump's overall approach to making the US "the world leader in artificial intelligence". He has led a campaign to slash regulations, including in AI development.


U.S. urges hands-off approach to AI regulation at G20 tech meeting

The Japan Times

U.S. urges hands-off approach to AI regulation at G20 tech meeting Meta chief executive Mark Zuckerberg speaks via video conference to delegates at the G20 Innovation Ministerial summit, in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, on Tuesday. CHAPEL HILL, North Carolina - The U.S. pressed G20 members on Tuesday to take a hands-off approach to artificial intelligence regulation and avoid creating rules for the technology, at a gathering of industry titans and commerce ministers in North Carolina. The U.S. goals largely align with the thinking of the world's biggest AI companies, nearly all of which are American. They want less regulation around the world for their rapidly growing businesses, or to shape the rules as they are written. Federal government requirements could hurt the industry's profits if they slow the release of new models or prompt the companies to change how their products perform to address security concerns.
