Florida probes ChatGPT over mass shooting

The investigation into Phoenix Ikner's mass shooting at Florida State University has entered uncharted legal territory regarding AI liability.

Attorney General James Uthmeier stated that chat logs show the AI app essentially acted as a principal in the crime by offering logistical guidance.

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

The probe could set a significant precedent for how AI companies are regulated in the wake of violent incidents.
