The Tumbler Ridge, B.C., mass shooting has prompted a closer look into how artificial intelligence platforms deal with potential signs of violence, and what Ottawa is doing to ensure such cases are escalated to police.
In the days following the Feb. 10 shooting, OpenAI said it had identified and banned an account linked to the shooter, 18-year-old Jesse Van Rootselaar. The account, which was flagged last June, had interacted with ChatGPT and was removed after being identified as violating company policy through a combination of automated detection tools and human review.
