Family of man killed in shooting at Florida State University to sue ChatGPT and OpenAI

Lawyers for Robert Morales’s family said chatbot ‘may have advised the shooter’ on how to carry out shooting

The family of a man who was killed at Florida State University last year plans to sue ChatGPT and its parent organization, OpenAI, for allegedly telling the accused gunman how to carry out the mass shooting.

Lawyers for the family of Robert Morales wrote in a statement they had learned the shooter was in “constant communication with ChatGPT” ahead of the shooting, and that the chatbot “may have advised the shooter how to commit these heinous crimes”.
