Florida’s Attorney General, James Uthmeier, announced Thursday that his office planned to investigate OpenAI over the alleged role of ChatGPT in a deadly shooting last year.
In April 2025, a gunman opened fire on Florida State University’s campus, killing two and injuring five. Last week, attorneys for one of the victims of the shooting claimed that ChatGPT had been used to plan the attack. The family of the victim has said that they plan to sue OpenAI over the incident.
