TALLAHASSEE, Fla. \u2014 The Attorney General of Florida, James Uthmeier, said that the state will work to regulate “AI and big tech” during the ongoing special session that Gov. Ron DeSantis<\/a> called for an unusual mid-decade redistricting push. This follows an inquiry launched by Uthmeier into ChatGPT and OpenAI<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n So far this week, Uthmeier has issued a series of statements on social media on Monday and Tuesday, saying that as the Florida Legislature returns to Tallahassee, they will work on regulatory efforts. He referenced an investigation into the use of ChatGPT and highlighted its use ahead of a shooting at Florida State University<\/a>, as well as the murders of two University of South Florida students<\/a>.<\/p>\n “I announced a criminal investigation into OpenAI over the murders of two USF students where the primary suspect consulted ChatGPT before this tragedy took place,” Uthmeier said Monday. “The primary suspect used OpenAI\u2019s ChatGPT to inquire about disposing of a human in a dumpster,” Uthmeier said in another post on Tuesday.<\/p>\n RELATED:\u00a0Court records: Suspect in USF doctoral students’ murders used ChatGPT to search about body disposal<\/a><\/p>\n Court records<\/a> of the USF murder case show Hisham Abugharbieh, who is facing two counts of first-degree murder, used the AI platform.<\/p>\n “We recently discovered that in the tragic Florida State University shooting, the murderer consulted ChatGPT OpenAI for advice before carrying out this heinous act,” Uthmeier said Monday.\u00a0<\/p>\n The Attorney General also referenced cases that have resulted in suicide<\/a> as well as the use of AI to create and share child pornography<\/a>.<\/p>\n “At the end of the day, we must ensure that big tech is protecting our children at all costs, and that we keep parents involved,” Uthmeier said. “When it comes to the privacy and personal data of our young people, we need to make sure that parents have access and control over that data.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Uthmeier highlighted the case of the shooting at FSU, as well as the murder of two USF students.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":250232,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[232,234,233],"class_list":["post-250231","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tallahassee","tag-tallahassee","tag-tallahassee-headlines","tag-tallahassee-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/250231","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=250231"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/250231\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/250232"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=250231"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=250231"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=250231"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
