Florida’s Attorney General’s Office opened a criminal investigation into ChatGPT for allegedly “offering significant advice” to the suspected 2025 Florida State University shooter before killing two and injuring six others.
Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier announced Tuesday that his office launched a criminal investigation into ChatGPT and its parent company, OpenAI, in tandem with the probe into the suspected FSU shooter earlier this month. The attorney general’s office alleges that the shooter, identified as 20-year-old FSU student Phoenix Ikner, heavily utilized the artificial intelligence service to assist him in carrying out the “heinous crimes.”
Ikner is accused of opening fire near the student union at the public Tallahassee campus last April, during which two adults were killed and six others were injured, including at least one student.
