The family of a victim killed in the April 2025 Florida State University mass shooting is suing OpenAI, alleging ChatGPT actively guided the attacker. The lawsuit claims shooter Phoenix Ikner shared firearm images with ChatGPT, which explained how to operate them, noted the Glock had no safety, and told him mass shootings get more national attention "if children are involved." ChatGPT also allegedly told Ikner that the FSU student union peaks between 11:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. He opened fire at 11:57 a.m. OpenAI says ChatGPT "is not responsible" and only provided publicly available information. Florida AG James Uthmeier has launched a criminal investigation. - NBC
