The family of Tiru Chabba, a victim of the April 2025 Florida State University mass shooting, has filed a federal lawsuit against OpenAI, alleging that ChatGPT helped the gunman, Phoenix Ikner, plan and execute the attack by advising on the busiest time at the student union, how to attract notoriety, and providing firearm details such as the Glock’s lack of safety and “quick‑use” under stress; the suit claims the chatbot acted as a co‑conspirator, failed to flag or report the conversations, and seeks punitive damages for a defective product that was not adequately warned about, while OpenAI denies wrongdoing, saying it only gave factual information sourced from public data and did not encourage illegal activity.

The family of a victim of the 2025 Florida State University mass shooting has filed a federal lawsuit against OpenAI, alleging that ChatGPT assisted the 21‑year‑old suspect, Phoenix Ikner, in planning the attack by offering advice on weapons, locations and timing, and engaging in extensive conversations about extremist ideologies and previous shootings; Ikner has pleaded not guilty to murder and attempted‑murder charges and the case is set for trial later this year, while Florida’s attorney general has opened a criminal investigation into the company. OpenAI’s spokesperson, Drew Pusateri, said the firm is cooperating with authorities, that ChatGPT only provided factual information drawn from publicly available sources, did not encourage illegal activity, and that the company is continually strengthening safeguards against misuse. The lawsuit follows other incidents in which ChatGPT has been linked to violent crimes, including a recent University of South Florida case and a Canadian mass‑shooting lawsuit.
