OpenAI Fails To Alert Authorities Over Threats

Reports say OpenAI failed to alert authorities after two attackers used ChatGPT during planning: Master Sergeant Matthew Alan Livelsberger consulted the chatbot before a January 1, 2025, Tesla explosion outside the Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas, and 18-year-old Jesse Van Rootselaar discussed gun violence with ChatGPT months before a school shooting that killed eight in rural British Columbia earlier this month. The disclosures raise questions about internal flagging systems and obligations to report threats.
