Canadian Lawsuit Claims OpenAI Ignored ChatGPT Violence Warnings; Artist Slows AI Chatbots

An 18-year-old Canadian woman’s deadly school shooting is tied to violent chat logs with ChatGPT, prompting a lawsuit alleging OpenAI neglected explicit threat warnings. This lawsuit amplifies debates around AI’s role in user safety and the responsibilities of chatbot providers to prevent harm. Meanwhile, artist Sam Lavigne introduced a tool called Slow LLM that deliberately delays AI chatbot responses to challenge user dependence, reflecting wider concerns about AI interaction and control.
