Florida probes ChatGPT role in shooting

The investigation focuses on messages exchanged between the FSU shooter and the AI assistant in the weeks leading up to the 2025 tragedy.

Attorney General James Uthmeier stated that subpoenas have been issued to OpenAI to determine how the company addresses threats of harm and prevents the misuse of its technology.

The case has reignited a national debate over the liability of AI developers for the real-world actions of their users.

OpenAI has not yet publicly commented on the shift from a preliminary inquiry to a formal criminal probe.
