United States justice officials have arrested a second individual in connection with a mass shooting at a Canadian school that gained international attention after an 18-year-old allegedly killed six children following discussions with the ChatGPT artificial intelligence chatbot.
The US Department of Justice announced on Tuesday that it had detained James Codey Bryant, a 30-year-old resident of western Washington state. He faces a charge of conspiracy to murder persons in a foreign country.
Prosecutors allege that Bryant served as an accomplice to the primary suspect, offering what they describe as “technical advice” related to the planned attack.
How does technical advice from across the border actually translate to the method used? More details please.
Conspiracy to murder in a foreign country? The US jurisdiction reach here is wild but legally sound.
This is absolutely terrifying. AI involvement in real-world violence needs serious regulation now.
