Artificial Intelligence Minister Evan Solomon says OpenAI has agreed to take several actions to strengthen safeguards for ChatGPT after a meeting to discuss the company’s failure to warn police of accounts used by the Tumbler Ridge shooter.
Solomon met with OpenAI CEO Sam Altman on March 4 to “demand immediate steps” to bolster safeguards and accountability in Canada for ChatGPT, according to a statement.
