Police are investigating a shooting at Florida State University where two people were killed and five injured. The alleged shooter reportedly used ChatGPT to plan the attack, prompting Florida’s attorney general to investigate OpenAI, the company behind the AI chatbot. Attorney General James Uthmeier stated that if a person had given the same advice as ChatGPT, they would face murder charges. OpenAI is cooperating with authorities, asserting that ChatGPT did not promote illegal activity. The investigation seeks to determine OpenAI’s responsibility and whether it should be held accountable for the incident.
