Canadian officials to meet with OpenAI safety team after school shooting

Canada summoned top officials from OpenAI for a meeting about the company’s safety protocols, a Canadian official said on Monday, after the ChatGPT maker said it did not reach out to police about an account it banned last year belonging to mass ‌shooter Jesse Van ⁠Rootselaar.

Van Rootselaar, ⁠18, killed eight people in a small British Columbia town on February 10 and then took her own life. OpenAI said it ​banned her account last year on the chatbot ChatGPT for policy violations which it said did not meet internal ​criteria for reporting to law enforcement.
