In a letter dated April 23, Altman said he was "deeply sorry" that law enforcement was not alerted to Van Rootselaar's ChatGPT account, which had been banned in June.
OpenAI had earlier said it had banned Van Rootselaar's account last year for policy violations, but the issues did not meet its internal criteria for reporting to law enforcement.
Altman said he had spoken with Tumbler Ridge Mayor Darryl Krakowka and British Columbia Premier David Eby about the tragedy, describing the community's pain as "unimaginable."
He said the company is committed to working with government officials to help prevent a similar tragedy from happening again.
