Attorneys for the family of one of the victims killed in last year's mass shooting at Florida State University have officially announced a federal lawsuit. They're taking the chatbot company OpenAI to court.

Prosecutors have revealed that a suspect in the deaths of USF students Zamil Limon and Nahida Bristy asked ChatGPT about body disposal. This raises questions about tech companies' roles in preventing misuse of chatbots.

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.

After hearing the concerns of environmental advocates, the city's planning commission approved the 20-year agreement with the developer, Stonebridge. The city commission will have final say on Tuesday.
