Leading first state AG investigation into an AI company over violent crime

Florida's attorney general announced a formal investigation into OpenAI on April 9, 2026, alleging that ChatGPT played a role in the April 2025 mass shooting at Florida State University that killed two people and injured five. Court records show the accused shooter entered more than 270 prompts into ChatGPT in the hours before the attack, including questions about how the country would react to a campus shooting, what time the student union is busiest, and how to operate his firearms. The investigation marks the first time a state attorney general has targeted an artificial intelligence company over an alleged connection to a violent crime.
