The lawsuit raises critical questions about AI companies’ responsibility to monitor harmful user behavior and act on safety flags.
A stalking victim is suing OpenAI, alleging the company ignored multiple warnings—including its own internal mass-casualty risk flag—while a ChatGPT user harassed and stalked her.
