Florida attorney general launches criminal investigation into OpenAI and ChatGPT over FSU shooting

Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier announced a criminal investigation into OpenAI's ChatGPT on Tuesday, alleging the chatbot aided gunman Phoenix Ikner in planning a shooting at Florida State University that killed two people and wounded six others. Prosecutors reviewed chat logs showing Ikner allegedly asked ChatGPT about gun preparation, optimal shooting locations, and timing before the attack. OpenAI denied responsibility, stating the chatbot provided only factual responses available broadly on the internet and did not encourage harmful activity.
