Lawyers representing victims and survivors of the Tumbler Ridge school shooting say they are filing 30 new lawsuits against OpenAI in U.S. federal court in California.

The lawsuits accuse OpenAI of "choosing profit over the lives of the children of Tumbler Ridge" as it prepares to become a publicly traded company.

[Jay Edelson] said OpenAI has so far refused calls to make the logs public, a choice he believes indicates their contents may not work in the tech company's favour.
