The widow of a man killed in a mass shooting is suing ChatGPT maker OpenAI, blaming the company’s chatbot for contributing to the tragedy.
Prosecutors say they believe ChatGPT advised Phoenix Ikner on which location and time of day would allow for the most potential victims, what type of gun and ammunition to use, and whether a gun would be useful at short range.
Vandana Joshi, who lost her husband Tiru Chabba in the shooting, said: ‘OpenAI knew this would happen. It’s happened before, and it was only a matter of time before it happened again.’
Her husband was one of two people killed in the April 2025 shooting at Florida State University in Tallahassee, where six others were wounded.
