The policy extends to detailed reconstructions of past mass shootings and comparisons of harm scale. It works alongside parental controls that notify parents of violations. The move follows legal actions and public accountability concerns after Sam Altman failed to alert authorities about chat logs related to the Tumbler Ridge shooting. OpenAI plans its first Community Safety Report in early 2027, with biannual updates thereafter.
