Canada's minister for artificial intelligence has summoned senior staff from OpenAI on Tuesday over the mass shooting in Tumbler Ridge, British Columbia, in which eight people were killed including six young children.
The company said last week it banned a ChatGPT account owned by the shooting suspect more than half a year before the attack but did not alert authorities at the time as it did not meet a serious harm threshold.
AI Minister Evan Solomon said the OpenAI staff will be asked to discuss "safety protocols" and when harmful posts are relayed to law enforcement.
The suspect in the 10 February attack was identified by police as 18-year-old Jesse Van Rootselaar.
The Royal Canadian Mounted Police said it is still investigating the incident, including "a thorough review of the content and electronic devices, as well as social media and online activities" related to the suspect.
