Matthew Livelsberger, an Army soldier, utilized ChatGPT to plot an explosion involving a Tesla Cybertruck outside the Trump International Hotel on New Year's Day.
Authorities confirmed they have clear evidence that Livelsberger asked the AI about explosives and their ignition methods.
The explosion resulted in minor injuries to seven bystanders, while Livelsberger died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
Police uncovered a six-page document on his phone expressing his grievances and outlining his plans.
The incident marks a troubling case of AI-assisted planning for violence, prompting law enforcement to reassess safety protocols.
