Florida AG Launches Criminal Investigation into OpenAI, ChatGPT

Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier announced that the Office of Statewide Prosecution has launched a criminal investigation into OpenAI and its AI application ChatGPT. The investigation follows a review of chat logs between ChatGPT and Phoenix Ikner, the gunman who opened fire at Florida State University on April 17, 2025. The Office of Statewide Prosecution issued a subpoena to OpenAI requesting internal policies on user threats, self-harm reporting, and law enforcement cooperation, along with organizational charts and FSU shooting-related communications.
