A 13-year-old student in Florida was arrested after using a school computer to ask OpenAI’s ChatGPT how to kill his friend. The incident occurred at Southwestern Middle School, where the school’s monitoring system, Gaggle, detected the alarming query and immediately alerted authorities. Following standard security protocol, campus police quickly identified and detained the student. During questioning, the boy claimed he was joking, but law enforcement took the threat seriously, citing the long history of school violence in the U.S. The Volusia County Sheriff’s Office confirmed that the teen has been sent to a juvenile detention center. Officials urged parents to talk with their children about responsible technology use, emphasizing the potential consequences of such behavior. This case follows an earlier incident in California, where a 16-year-old’s death was allegedly linked to harmful chatbot interactions, leading to legal action against OpenAI.
