华盛顿，4月21日（路透社）——佛罗里达州总检察长詹姆斯·乌特迈尔周二表示，该州正对OpenAI及其人工智能应用ChatGPT启动刑事调查，涉及去年佛罗里达州立大学造成两人死亡的枪击事件。
去年4月，一名枪手在佛罗里达州立大学造成两人死亡、六人受伤，随后被警方开枪击中并住院。该嫌疑人被控多项谋杀和谋杀未遂罪名。

“这款聊天机器人曾向枪手建议使用何种枪支、何种弹药适配哪款枪械，以及枪支在近距离是否适用，”乌特迈尔在一场新闻发布会上表示，该发布会链接已打开新标签页。
“如果屏幕另一端是真人，我们会以谋杀罪起诉他们。”
乌特迈尔的办公室表示，此次调查将确定“OpenAI是否需为ChatGPT在此次枪击事件中的行为承担刑事责任”。
该办公室还称，州检察官办公室已向OpenAI发出传票，要求其提供部分信息和记录。
人工智能的兴起引发了一系列担忧，从数据中心的电力需求可能推高消费者电价，到担心该技术导致工人失业、被用于破坏民主进程、加剧欺诈，或帮助他人策划犯罪活动。

OpenAI的一位女发言人告诉美国媒体，此次枪击事件是一场悲剧，但该公司无需承担责任。这位女发言人表示，在得知这一事件后，OpenAI识别出一个疑似与嫌疑人相关的ChatGPT账号，并“主动将此信息分享给了执法部门”。
“在此次事件中，ChatGPT仅针对问题提供了可在互联网公开来源广泛获取的事实性回复，并未鼓励或宣扬非法或有害活动，”这位OpenAI女发言人说道。

WASHINGTON, April 21 (Reuters) – Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier said on Tuesday the state was launching a criminal probe into OpenAI and its artificial intelligence app ChatGPT over a deadly shooting last year that killed two people at Florida State University.
A gunman killed two people and wounded six others at Florida State University in April last year before he was shot by officers and hospitalized. The suspect was charged with multiple counts of murder and attempted murder.

“The chatbot advised the shooter on what type of gun to use, on which ammo went with which gun, on whether or not a gun would be useful at short range, Uthmeier said in a press briefing, opens new tab.
“If it was a person on the other end of that screen, we would be charging them with murder.”
Uthmeier’s office said the investigation will determine whether “OpenAI bears criminal responsibility for ChatGPT’s actions in the shooting.”
The Office of Statewide Prosecution subpoenaed OpenAI for some information and records, it added.
The rise of AI has fed a host of concerns ranging from worries that electricity demand by data centers could raise power prices for consumers, to fears that the technology could cost workers their jobs or be used to disrupt the democratic process, turbocharge fraud or help people plan criminal activities.

An OpenAI spokeswoman told U.S. media that the shooting was a tragedy but the company had no responsibility. The spokeswoman said that after learning of the incident, OpenAI identified a ChatGPT account believed to be associated with the suspect and “proactively shared this information with law enforcement.”
“In this case, ChatGPT provided factual responses to questions with information that could be found broadly across public sources on the internet, and it did not encourage or promote illegal or harmful activity, the OpenAI spokeswoman said.
