Canada’s privacy commissioner, Philippe Dufresne, concluded that OpenAI failed to comply with the country’s federal and provincial privacy statutes while training its AI models. The investigation found the company collected massive amounts of personal data without adequate safeguards or consent, and that users have no way to correct or delete that information. OpenAI has pledged a series of remedial steps, including new user notices, stronger data‑filtering tools and tighter protections for retired datasets. The findings come amid heightened scrutiny after the firm’s handling of a warning about a shooter in the February 2026 Tumbler Ridge attack. Ler mais

Elon Musk left OpenAI's board in early 2018 after a heated dispute with co‑founders over control of the nonprofit's future.

Testimony from OpenAI president Greg Brockman, including excerpts from his private journal, revealed the tension behind the scenes. The conflict has resurfaced as courts examine whether Musk’s departure was voluntary or forced, and how the organization’s governance evolved into the AI powerhouse it is today. Ler mais
