The MP for Tumbler Ridge has expressed support for a lawsuit filed against American artificial intelligence firm OpenAI by the mother of a girl critically injured the Feb. 10 mass shooting in the B.C. town.

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.
