"Big tech and law in Tumbler Ridge shooting," October 9, 2026 (8 minutes, 33 seconds)
Host Carolina de Ryk interviewed Pavel Kolmogorov about the liability of technology companies when their platforms are used to plan violent crimes. The conversation followed the February 2026 school shooting in Tumbler Ridge, British Columbia. Families, the Province, and the school district have since sued OpenAI in federal court in San Francisco. Pavel walked through the two rules that do most of the work in American courts. One is Section 230. The other is California's limit on the duty to protect people from a stranger's crime. He explained why a chatbot that generates its own answers raises different questions from a platform like Discord, which carries messages between users. He also covered why the plaintiffs chose California and what OpenAI's motion to move the cases to British Columbia will turn on at the December hearing. A criminal charge against a third party, he noted, does not by itself take a company off the hook.

"Tuerie de Tumbler Ridge : la C.-B. poursuit OpenAI" (September 21, 2026)
Radio-Canada's Le Téléjournal Colombie-Britannique interviewed Pavel Kolmogorov for its September 21, 2026 report on British Columbia's lawsuit against OpenAI, filed in California after the Tumbler Ridge school shooting. The Province alleges that OpenAI's safety team flagged the shooter's ChatGPT account months before the attack and that the company never alerted the RCMP. Asked how those allegations would play in a California court, Mr. Kolmogorov said, in French, that the company's system worked as designed, that a human decision not to act came afterward, and that Canadian authorities were never warned. Those facts, he said, give the Province strong arguments on negligence. The 22-second clip of his comment is below. Watch the full three-minute segment on Radio-Canada.

"2-lawyer defense team turns plaintiffs' allegations into forum victory" (Law Practice, August 21, 2026)
The Daily Journal, California's legal newspaper, profiled the defense strategy behind the forum ruling in Shirokov v. Ardatovskiy (N.D. Cal. No. 3:25-cv-02701-EMC). The case was a seventeen-month trade secret, copyright, and trademark dispute between rival online travel platforms. Pavel Kolmogorov and co-counsel Henry Nikogosyan, a two-lawyer team facing eight opposing attorneys, chose not to fight every battle. They concentrated on the one question that could end the case in California: where it should be heard. They then used the plaintiffs' own allegations to show that the parties' contract pointed to Cyprus. On August 19, 2026, U.S. District Judge Edward M. Chen agreed. He conditionally dismissed the remaining claims against every defendant, including five who never signed the agreement, and sent the dispute to the Cypriot courts. The full article is available to Daily Journal subscribers. For the law behind the ruling, see our trade secret litigation page.

“AI notetakers have sat in on 1 in 3 US workers' meetings, but only a third say they were asked first”
