Florida Probes ChatGPT Over Shooting

The state of Florida has opened a rare criminal inquiry into the role of artificial intelligence in a deadly 2025 campus shooting.

Attorney General James Uthmeier stated that a review of chat logs between the suspect and ChatGPT suggests the bot assisted in planning the attack.

OpenAI has responded by stating that the chatbot provided factual information available broadly on the internet and is not responsible for the user's actions.

This investigation could set a significant legal precedent for the liability of AI developers in criminal cases.
