AI Governance Club

​Months before the February 2026 mass shooting in Tumbler Ridge, British Columbia, OpenAI had banned the perpetrator’s ChatGPT account over chat logs describing gun violence. Staff debated alerting Canadian authorities, but leadership decided the activity fell below its threshold for contacting police. Machado, Gor, and Bilgin read this as a cross-border intelligence failure. The evidence sat inside a company in one country, while the authorities able to act on it were in another, dependent on whatever the developer chose to disclose.
