Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier has opened a criminal probe into OpenAI over ChatGPT's alleged role in a Florida State University shooting. His office says prosecutors concluded that if a human had given the same advice, they would seek a murder charge. Investigators say chat logs show the suspect, identified as Phoenix Ikner, asked ChatGPT about shotgun shell lethality, prison conditions for school shooters, likely media attention, and busy times at the FSU student union.
