OpenAI Chief Apologizes for Not Flagging Account Before Canadian Mass Shooting

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman apologized for not alerting authorities about a user linked to the Tumbler Ridge mass shooting in British Columbia; the account had been banned in June for policy violations but was not referred to police, a decision Altman says contributed to the tragedy in which eight people were killed and 25 injured. He spoke with Tumbler Ridge’s mayor and BC Premier David Eby, promising ongoing collaboration with government to prevent similar incidents, while Eby called the apology necessary but insufficient.
