Days after Tampa prosecutors revealed that a suspected murderer consulted ChatGPT about placing human remains in a dumpster, Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier announced Monday that he’s adding the case to his landmark criminal investigation into OpenAI.

Florida officials are fighting a court order to expand detainee phone access at the so-called “Alligator Alcatraz” center, arguing it would be too costly for taxpayers — but they’ve already spent roughly $34 million in public dollars on technology, IT support, and more, state records show.

Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier is investigating whether OpenAI is criminally responsible for the mass shooting at Florida State University last April, he announced Tuesday.

For the second time in two months, Gov. Ron DeSantis is trying to drive his “AI Bill of Rights” through the Florida Legislature. He’s one of few Republicans carving out an anti-artificial intelligence path, one that bucks President Donald Trump and his tech titan allies.

A panel of the Florida Legislature agreed Friday to distribute more than $105 million in federal dollars to shield FIFA World Cup matches in Miami from unmanned drones and other attacks.

The subpoena, served to the Environmental Law Institute and its Climate Judiciary Project, demands the group disclose its funding sources, communications with Florida judges, and role in climate-related litigation.

Gov. Ron DeSantis delayed Wednesday a long-anticipated special session to redraw the state’s congressional maps, pushing it back by one week and expanding the call to address artificial intelligence and vaccine mandates.

Two hours before he went on a shooting rampage, Phoenix Ikner had a question for ChatGPT. His question, which came mere hours after he told the chatbot that God had abandoned him, hung in his oft-used log with the AI platform for two seconds. Then, ChatGPT detailed how the school would lock down, national media would swarm, and the president would express condolences.

Although his office declined to say whether the investigation is criminal or civil, subpoenas will be “forthcoming.” The probe will also examine ChatGPT’s potential involvement in child sexual abuse material and the “encouragement” of suicide, Uthmeier added.

Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier announced Wednesday a $600,000 partnership with an anti-crime company specializing in matching cold case DNA to genetic genealogy databases.

Gov. Ron DeSantis is calling on the Florida House to impeach a Tallahassee judge who briefly released a sex offender onto the streets, resulting in the killing of the man’s 5-year-old stepdaughter.
