OpenAI CEO Apologizes for Not Alerting Law Enforcement About BC Mass Shooter
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has apologized for failing to alert law enforcement about the online activity of Jesse Van Rootselaar, the 18-year-old who killed eight people in a mass shooting in Tumbler Ridge, British Columbia in February. The company identified Van Rootselaar's account last June and banned it for violating usage policy but did not refer it to RCMP. The shooter killed her mother, stepbrother, five children and an educator at a local school before killing herself, with 25 others injured.
