Florida launches criminal probe of ChatGPT's role in mass shooting

Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier says the state is investigating OpenAI and ChatGPT over allegations the FSU shooting suspect used the chatbot for advice before the attack.

The probe is reviewing OpenAI’s policies and training materials, as officials examine whether the company contributed to harmful behavior.

The case could become a precedent for whether AI companies face legal scrutiny when chatbot outputs are linked to violent crimes.
