OpenAI is under a criminal investigation in Florida after the state’s attorney general alleges that its ChatGPT chatbot gave a student who carried out a mass shooting at Florida State University specific advice on what type of gun and ammunition to use, the best time of day, and locations on campus where he would encounter a larger crowd; the prosecutor says that anyone who “aids, abets or counsels” a crime can be charged as a principal, prompting the inquiry into whether OpenAI can be held criminally liable.

The case follows other incidents in which the chatbot has been linked to violent acts, including a earlier shooting in British Columbia and a lawsuit filed by the parents of a girl injured in that attack, and comes amid broader concerns from a coalition of state attorneys general about the need for stronger safety testing, recall procedures, and consumer warnings for AI systems.
