Florida<\/a> Attorney General James Uthmeier announced Monday that OpenAI<\/a> would be included in criminal<\/a> investigations involving the alleged murders of two University of South Florida doctoral students.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are expanding our criminal investigation into OpenAI to include the USF murders after learning the primary suspect used ChatGPT,\u201d Uthmeier wrote in a statement on X<\/a>. \u00a0<\/p>\n

Nahida Bristy and Zamil Limon, who were in a relationship, were reported missing earlier this month. Limon\u2019s remains were discovered Friday morning, while Bristy, who is presumed dead, is still missing, though unidentified remains were recovered on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Limon\u2019s roommate, 26-year-old Hisham Abugharbieh, was arrested Friday morning and charged with two counts of premeditated first-degree murder with a weapon, unlawfully holding or moving a dead body, failure to report death to medical examiner or law enforcement with intent to conceal, tampering with physical evidence, false imprisonment, and battery.\u00a0<\/p>\n

According to court documents<\/a>, Abugharbieh allegedly used ChatGPT to ask questions about disposing of a body. On April 13, he asked what would happen if someone was \u201cput in a black garbage bag and thrown in dumpster.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

The chatbot said that it sounds dangerous, prompting Abugharbieh to allegedly respond, \u201cHow would they find out.\u201d<\/p>\n

Court filings also said that Limon\u2019s body was later found on the Howard Frankland Bridge in numerous black utility trash bags in advanced stages of decomposition.<\/p>\n

An autopsy conducted by the Pinellas County Medical Examiner\u2019s Office found numerous lacerations and stab wounds on Limon\u2019s body.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Abugharbie also had numerous lacerations on his body, including injuries to both legs.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

The documents also said that Abugharbieh allegedly asked ChatGPT whether a VIN number on a car could be tracked and whether someone could keep a gun at home without a license.\u00a0<\/p>\n

ROOMMATE CHARGED WITH TWO COUNTS OF MURDER IN DEATH, DISAPPEARANCE OF TWO USF STUDENTS<\/a><\/p>\n

Abugharbieh is being represented by a public defender and is scheduled to return to court on Tuesday.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Hillsborough County Sheriff\u2019s Office asks anyone with information on Bristy\u2019s disappearance to contact the office at (813) 247-8200. <\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a deeply disturbing case that has shaken our community and impacted many who were hoping for a safe resolution,\u201d Chief Chris Daniel said<\/a>. \u201cWhile the discovery of Zamil Limon\u2019s remains is heartbreaking, I want the public to know that our detectives worked and are working tirelessly and relentlessly to uncover the truth.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier announced Monday that OpenAI would be included in criminal investigations involving the alleged…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":18750,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[580,2989,199,1183,517,2597,157,13469,2367],"class_list":{"0":"post-18749","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-openai","8":"tag-chatgpt","9":"tag-colleges-and-universities","10":"tag-crime","11":"tag-florida","12":"tag-higher-education","13":"tag-investigations","14":"tag-openai","15":"tag-police-and-law-enforcement","16":"tag-violence"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18749","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=18749"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18749\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/18750"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=18749"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=18749"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=18749"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
