B.C. Attorney General Niki Sharma says she has asked the federal government to amend the Criminal Code to ensure artificial intelligence companies can be held accountable following a “disturbing” report that OpenAI’s chatbot allegedly provided guidance to the Tumbler Ridge shooter before the deadly attack. The Canadian Press has reported.
Sharma said Friday that she had not yet received a response, citing the “rapidly evolving” situation. She said changes are needed to create “a clearer pathway for human and corporate accountability for the actions of AI.”
U.S. magazine Mother Jones reported details of alleged conversations between shooter Jesse Van Rootselaar and OpenAI’s ChatGPT, including descriptions of the effectiveness of a shotgun in a classroom.
The report quotes ChatGPT as saying a Remington 870 shotgun is particularly effective in close quarters, including hallways, indoor settings and crowded classrooms.
It also says the chatbot discussed the potential number of people who could be hit, depending on factors such as spacing, density, reaction times and chaos.
According to the report, ChatGPT also provided advice on how to bypass its safeguards when seeking information about violent scenarios by presenting the material as fictional.
NDP Leader David Eby said during a provincial election campaign stop that criminal charges should be considered if the allegations in the report are proven true.
Sharma, who said she was speaking as a candidate in the B.C. election, said she was not the person responsible for deciding whether criminal charges would be laid.
“The RCMP will make those decisions under the investigation,” she said.
Federal AI Minister Evan Solomon’s office said Solomon was not previously aware of the specific conversations described in the Mother Jones report.
