Share OpenAI'reviewing' report of failed hacking attempt against Canada's gov't on social media OpenAI has confirmed that it is reviewing a report of a failed hacking attempt against a Canadian government body in the latest incident to highlight cybersecurity concerns about artificial intelligence. The AI giant said on Wednesday that it was reviewing the alleged cyberattack against Canada's national archives agency and had provided an initial briefing to Canadian officials. The spokesperson added that much of the misaligned activity under review by the company involved "routine research tasks, including accessing public web content". The attempted hacking, if confirmed, would be the first publicly known case of an AI-led cyberattack against Canada's government, following a series of incidents of rogue agents targeting agencies in the United States and Australia. Canada's government-run Cyber Centre said earlier this week that there were no indications that government systems had been compromised by AI.

The Canadian province of British Columbia has sued the California firm OpenAI for failing to notify law enforcement of threats made on its ChatGPT platform before a shooter opened fire at a school in Tumbler Ridge. The lawsuit, filed in federal court in San Francisco on Monday, names OpenAI and its CEO, Sam Altman, as defendants. The lawsuit also seeks a court order forcing the company to overhaul how it identifies and handles user conversations that threaten violence. Eight victims died in the February 10, 2026 attack in the small town of Tumbler Ridge, in what officials described as one of Canada's worst mass shootings. The shooter killed her mother and half-brother at their home before going to a secondary school, where she killed five children and an educator, and then died by suicide at the scene.

Headlines across Europe indicate a lot of confusion right now. The EU constitution rules that possibility out as Canada is geographically outside Europe. But in a speech on Thursday to the European Parliament, Canada's Prime Minister Mark Carney said: Canada and Europe should secure our strategic autonomy through deep cooperation in the full range of strategic capabilities.

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has welcomed the European Union's ambition to make his country the first associate member of the bloc - but what would that mean in practice? Carney says he is seeking a unique relationship with the EU, in an apparent reference to the fact that EU treaties do not currently provide for associate membership. Germany had proposed Ukrainian associate membership earlier this year but Kyiv rejected the idea, saying it only wanted full EU integration. The EU itself also seemed reluctant. At the her State of the Union address on Wednesday, von der Leyen listed several key areas for cooperation, although she did not give specific details about how Canadian associate membership would work.

Canada's Carney pushes'new alliance' with EU despite Trump threats Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney greets European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen after delivering a speech at the European Parliament in Strasbourg, France, on Thursday. Brussels - Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney shrugged off a threat of U.S. retaliation Thursday as he pitched a "new alliance" with Europe as a bulwark against outside pressures, in a closely watched speech to the European Parliament. His speech came after EU chief Ursula von der Leyen suggested Canada could become the 27-nation bloc's first "associate member" in her annual State of the Union address on Wednesday. "Europe and Canada are stronger together," Carney said, in a speech that drew a standing ovation, saying his country welcomed the EU proposal and wanted deeper cooperation on issues from artificial intelligence to defense and energy. In a time of both misinformation and too much information, quality journalism is more crucial than ever.

Canada welcomes EU proposal to become'associate member' Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has welcomed the European Union's ambition for Canada to become its first associate member, calling for closer cooperation on defence, critical minerals and energy security. Carney told the European Parliament in Strasbourg on Thursday that Canada and Europe were stronger together in the face of geopolitical rupture. His comments came a day after European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen proposed opening the door to Canada's associate membership, a status that does not currently exist. US President Donald Trump earlier called the idea laughable and threatened very serious tariffs on Europe if he considered it a hostile act. Canada and the US are locked in an escalating trade dispute, with each side imposing tit-for-tat tariffs after bilateral talks collapsed last month.

UK's Burnham, Canada's Carney discuss AI risks, defence cooperation Share UK's Burnham, Canada's Carney discuss AI risks, defence cooperation on social media British Prime Minister Andy Burnham and Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney held their first bilateral meeting to advance cooperation on defence and artificial intelligence, capped by an evening watching a football match together at Everton's stadium in Liverpool. The British Prime Minister's Office said in a statement on Wednesday that the leaders agreed governments and the tech sector must partner to ensure online safety and counter the risks of AI. "It's a good thing that the companies developing the most advanced AI systems are now talking openly about the risks as well as the opportunities," the spokesperson for the British Prime Minister's Office said, adding that policy decisions needed to be "grounded in evidence rather than speculation" and that existing regulatory frameworks may not remain sufficient as AI capabilities advance. Neither the United Kingdom nor Canada currently has a dedicated law governing AI. Britain has taken a "pro-innovation", sector-led approach since releasing its policy paper in March 2023, empowering sectoral regulators to police AI rather than passing standalone legislation. Canada's own initiative, the Artificial Intelligence and Data Act, lapsed when parliament was prorogued in January 2025.
