"The federal privacy commissioner and his counterparts in Quebec, British Columbia and Alberta launched their investigation back in 2023 to probe the artificial intelligence company. At the time, the privacy watchdogs said they had received a complaint that the company unlawfully collected, used and disclosed personal information without consent."
"Seven lawsuits on behalf of those killed or injured in the rampage have been filed in California accusing OpenAI and its co-founder Sam Altman of negligence. Lawyers with the firm Rice Parsons Leoni & Elliott say the Tumbler Ridge shooter's ChatGPT account was banned for 'disturbing content,' which allegedly included planning violent scenarios, prior to the February tragedy."
"However, despite some 12 different OpenAI employees imploring the company to notify Canadian law enforcement about the shooter's plans, nothing else was done. Late last month Altman wrote an apology letter to the community for failing to alert RCMP about the account of the Tumbler Ridge shooter."
An investigation into OpenAI's ChatGPT by Canadian privacy commissioners will be made public today. The inquiry began in 2023 after complaints about unlawful collection and use of personal data. The investigation gained attention following a school shooting in Tumbler Ridge, B.C., linked to the shooter's ChatGPT account, which was banned for disturbing content. Lawyers allege negligence on OpenAI's part for not notifying law enforcement about the shooter's plans. The federal government is also considering age restrictions for chatbot usage.
