The Canadian government is waiting for OpenAI to provide information on the Tumbler Ridge shooting before taking regulatory action, Artificial Intelligence Minister Evan Solomon said. OpenAI had banned the shooter from using its ChatGPT chatbot due to worrisome interactions but did not alert law enforcement. The shooter, Jesse Van Rootselaar, fatally shot eight people, including six children, before committing suicide on February 10. The Canadian AI Safety Institute is working with OpenAI to obtain access to the company's safety protocols. Solomon met with OpenAI's CEO in March, where the company promised to provide a report on new systems to identify high-risk offenders and establish a direct point of contact with the RCMP.
