Canada summons OpenAI over failure to report school shooting suspect's chats

Canadian officials have summoned OpenAI's safety team and are threatening legislation after learning the company did not report a suspect's concerning chat history. The suspect in the Tumbler Ridge school shooting had described violent scenarios to ChatGPT months before the attack.

OpenAI employees had raised internal alarms and debated calling police about the suspect's posts, but the company did not mention them in a meeting with British Columbia officials the day after the shooting. This failure to report has led to scrutiny and a warning from Ottawa.
