Florida has opened an investigation into whether OpenAI's ChatGPT played a role in a real-world tragedy, prompting the company to push back against the allegations. The probe could set a precedent for how governments hold AI companies accountable when their tools are misused. OpenAI maintains that its chatbot was not responsible for the incident.
For users concerned about their own ChatGPT logs, OpenAI recommends going to Settings > Data Controls and turning off chat history. Conversations are then deleted after 30 days.
The investigation draws on a report from Ars Technica, which detailed the state's inquiry into ChatGPT's involvement in a mass shooting.
