Florida's criminal investigation into OpenAI is a necessary step toward holding AI companies accountable when their technology facilitates violence. ChatGPT's chat logs with the FSU gunman show a clear case of aiding and abetting under Florida law, making OpenAI just as responsible as the shooter. AI must advance humanity, not enable mass shootings.

Blaming OpenAI for the FSU shooting while ignoring the gun manufacturer, the gun owner and the getaway vehicle is a glaring double standard. AI is a tool, and tools get misused — that's never been grounds for prosecuting the maker. Targeting OpenAI is anti-progress grandstanding that sets a dangerous precedent for holding technology companies liable for how bad actors choose to use them.
