Florida Launches Criminal Probe Into ChatGPT's Role in FSU Mass Shooting

Florida's attorney general announced a criminal probe into whether ChatGPT assisted the perpetrator of last year's deadly mass shooting at Florida State University. Prosecutors allege the accused used the AI chatbot to seek advice on firearms, ammunition, and campus locations with high foot traffic. Under Florida law, anyone who assists or counsels a crime can be charged as an 'aider and abettor' facing equal liability. OpenAI rejected responsibility, stating ChatGPT is not responsible for the tragedy.
