Authorities said Matthew Alan Livelsberger, suspected of the New Year's Day Cybertruck explosion outside the Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas, used AI to assist in planning the attack. Livelsberger used ChatGPT to seek information on assembling explosives, triggering mechanisms, and circumventing laws to obtain materials, according to law enforcement. A spokesperson for OpenAI expressed sadness over its technology's misuse in the attack. OpenAI emphasized its commitment to responsible AI use and stated ChatGPT only provided publicly available information with warnings against harmful actions.
