A family in Tumbler Ridge is suing a U.S. artificial intelligence firm after the Feb. 10 mass shooting in the small B.C. community left their 12-year-old daughter fighting for her life at BC Children’s Hospital.
Cia Edmonds, the mother of critically injured Grade 7 student Maya Gebala, is suing OpenAI, alleging the tech company was “aware of the shooter’s violent intentions,” but failed to alert authorities, according to the lawsuit filed March 9 in B.C. Supreme Court.
