Lawsuit claims ChatGPT coached FSU shooter on gun operation, timing, and victim thresholds

Key Points

The widow of a victim of the mass shooting at Florida State University is suing OpenAI, alleging that the shooter used ChatGPT to plan the attack in detail beforehand.

According to the lawsuit, the AI chatbot provided the shooter with information on how to operate a weapon, peak times in the cafeteria, and the number of victims needed to attract national media attention, among other things.

OpenAI denies responsibility, saying ChatGPT only provided publicly available information.

OpenAI is facing a lawsuit over last year's mass shooting at Florida State University. The suit claims ChatGPT gave the shooter information that helped him plan and carry out the attack.

Vandana Joshi, widow of one of the two people killed, filed the lawsuit against OpenAI and alleged shooter Phoenix Ikner. According to the complaint, Ikner had months of conversations with ChatGPT about guns, mass shootings, Hitler, and fascism.

In one exchange, the lawsuit says, ChatGPT answered Ikner's question about how many victims it takes for a school shooting to get national attention by citing an informal media threshold of "usually 3 or more dead."

But context matters too, the chatbot added: "Fewer victims can still lead to national coverage if it happens at an elementary school or major college, if the shooter is a student or staff member, or if there's something culturally or politically charged (for example, racial motives, a manifesto, or mental-health implications)."

Ikner also allegedly used the chatbot to learn how to load and operate a shotgun before carrying out the attack, with ChatGPT even offering tips on peak times to cause as much damage as possible. Based on these interactions, the plaintiffs describe ChatGPT as an active product that shapes conversations rather than passively responding.

Lawsuits linking AI chatbots to real-world violence are piling up
