Florida AG Investigates OpenAI Over FSU Campus Shooting

Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier announced an investigation into OpenAI following claims that ChatGPT was used to plan an April 2025 shooting at Florida State University that killed two and injured five. Attorneys for a victim's family allege the gunman used the chatbot to plan the attack and intend to sue OpenAI. The probe adds to growing concerns about ChatGPT's links to violent incidents, including murders and suicides. OpenAI said it will cooperate with the investigation, noting that 900 million weekly users rely on ChatGPT and that safety remains a core priority.
