What to know about how a suspect in the killing of two Florida students used ChatGPT

A suspect in the killing of two University of South Florida students used ChatGPT to ask about body disposal and gun use before the crime, according to prosecutors. The case raises questions about the role of tech companies in preventing the misuse of AI chatbots.
Prosecutors say Hisham Abugharbieh, 26, asked ChatGPT about disposing of bodies and gun use before the disappearance of University of South Florida students Zamil Limon and Nahida Bristy on April 16. Abugharbieh's OpenAI search history has emerged as a key piece of evidence. He was charged with two counts of premeditated murder and held without bond. OpenAI spokesperson Drew Pusateri said the company is cooperating with law enforcement. Florida's Attorney General James Uthmeier has also launched an investigation into whether ChatGPT aided a gunman who killed two people at Florida State University last year.
