Florida investigates ChatGPT role

The groundbreaking probe seeks to establish if artificial intelligence software can be held responsible for facilitating violent crimes.

Investigators claim that the alleged gunman, Phoenix Ikner, received 'factual responses' from ChatGPT that helped him plan the attack which killed two people.

OpenAI has responded by stating that the information provided by the bot could be found broadly across the internet and that they are cooperating with the investigation.

The case is being closely watched as a potential legal precedent for the regulation of AI safety and developer liability.
