Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier has launched a criminal investigation into OpenAI after conducting an initial probe into the company’s ChatGPT program, which he said revealed that the chatbot gave detailed advice to a suspected shooter who allegedly used it in a deadly campus shooting at Florida State University last year.
“Florida law states that anyone who aids, abets, or counsels someone in the commission of a crime, and that crime is committed or attempted, is a principal in the first degree,” Uthmeier told reporters at a news conference in Tampa on April 21.
