AI minister questions OpenAI's lack of warning about Tumbler Ridge shooter

Federal Artificial Intelligence Minister Evan Solomon has summoned safety chiefs from OpenAI, whose chatbot the Tumbler Ridge shooter interacted with before the massacre. Solomon said Monday he wanted a deeper explanation of why the shooter’s concerning comments were not reported to police. The shooter’s posts were flagged by OpenAI’s automatic screening systems, the company confirmed Friday, and her ChatGPT account had been suspended because of troubling content. But the company did not notify law enforcement in June because it did not identify “credible or imminent planning.” Earlier this month, the 18-year-old shooter killed five children and a teacher’s aide at her former B.C. school after killing her mother and half-brother at her home. #cdnpoli #artificialintelligence #openai #tumblerridge
