Canada's Artificial Intelligence Minister Ivan Solomon has expressed his deep dissatisfaction with the OpenAI company. He accused the company of failing to act responsibly. The failure to provide information about Jesse Van Rutselaar, an 18-year-old who took the lives of eight people in British Columbia, to the police in a timely manner is considered a major failure.

OpenAI had banned Jesse's account months before the attack after he misused the chatbot for violent purposes. However, despite noticing such a dangerous move, the company's officials did not inform the police. Minister Solomon described this as a major "failure" by the company to ensure public safety. He met with OpenAI's security team in Ottawa the other day, but the company's response was disappointing.

The minister clarified that Open AI has not put forward any new proposals that are necessary to prevent such disasters in the future. Canada expects stronger security precautions from artificial intelligence companies. The minister also warned that the government will move towards stronger legislation if the companies do not take strict measures on their own.
