OpenAI Was Asked In Court If They Bear Any Responsibility for the FSU Shooting. They Said No.

The Florida Attorney General has opened a criminal investigation into OpenAI — the first time in American history an AI company has been investigated for its role in a mass shooting. The FSU shooter consulted ChatGPT repeatedly before the attack, sharing his obsession with a specific woman and asking when to act. That's in the record.

OpenAI was just asked in court if they bear any responsibility.

They said no.

This is not a chatbot glitch. This is a company worth hundreds of billions of dollars telling a federal courtroom that the way their product was used — before people were killed — is not their problem. Big Tobacco didn't light a single cigarette. Ford didn't drive a Pinto into a wall. But they were held accountable because they knew, and they kept going.

OpenAI had this account flagged. They had information. They made a choice.
