A first on American soil, worried the sheriff of Las Vegas. The suspect in the Jan. 1 Tesla cybertruck explosion outside a Trump Tower in Las Vegas used ChatGPT to plan his attack, Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Sheriff Kevin McMahill said.
“This is the first incident that I am aware of on American soil where ChatGPT is used to help an individual build a particular device,” he said during a press conference, quoted by American radio NPR. “This is a worrying time. »
Matthew Livelsberger, identified as the man who allegedly drove the Tesla, allegedly used the generative artificial intelligence tool to research explosive targets, the speed of movement of certain munitions and the legality of fireworks in Arizona.
A ChatGPT spokesperson told US site Axios that “in this case, ChatGPT responded with information already publicly available on the internet and provided warnings against harmful or illegal activities. The spokesperson adds that the company “is committed to ensuring that AI tools are used responsibly.”
Matthew Livelsberger, 37, a former US army soldier, killed himself by gunfire just before the Tesla cybertruck exploded. The explosion injured seven people.
