The gunman who killed two people and wounded six others at Florida State University last year may have used ChatGPT to help plan the mass shooting, according to one of the victim’s attorneys planning to file a lawsuit against the chatbot’s maker, OpenAI. The AI “may have advised the shooter how to commit these heinous crimes,” according to the law firm representing the family of Robert Morales, an Aramark worker and father of one who was shot dead by alleged shooter Phoenix Ikner on the Tallahassee campus in April 2025. “We have been advised that the shooter was in constant communication with ChatGPT leading up to the shooting,” Brooks, LeBoeuf, Foster, Gwartney and Hobbs told WCTV in a statement.
