The victim's wife has filed a lawsuit against Chat GPT, accusing it of being behind last year's Florida State University massacre. The main allegation in the lawsuit is that the chat bot gave the killer instructions on the location, time and weapons needed to carry out the attack. Investigators have found that the AI even advised that involving students would garner more media attention.
Vandana Joshi, the wife of the deceased Tiru Chabba, said that the company's actions, which were aimed solely at profit, without following security measures, cost her husband his life. The investigation has revealed that the killer asked Chat GPT about the busy hours on the Florida State University campus and ways to increase the number of victims. However, Open AI claims that it only provided factual information available on the internet and that it did not encourage illegal activities.
Social media and artificial intelligence have faced legal action globally before, alleging that they are affecting the mental health and safety of children. This case has paved the way for major discussions about the responsibility of AI technology and its impacts on society.
