ChatGPT was used to prepare the explosion at the Trump hotel

The driver who blew up a Tesla Cybertruck at the Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas used the ChatGPT chatbot in preparation for the attack. This was reported by local police sheriff Kevin McMahill, according to NBC News.

According to the sheriff, 37-year-old Matthew Livelsberger, using a chatbot, in particular, tried to find out how much explosive he would need and where he could buy it. “I think this is the first known case on U.S. soil that ChatGPT has been used to help a person create a specific explosive device,” McMahill said.

OpenAI, the developer of ChatGPT, said it regrets that its chatbot was used to prepare the attack. The developer's representative also claims that artificial intelligence is not intended to prepare crimes and warns users against committing any illegal actions.

“Our models are designed to minimize harmful content. In this case, ChatGPT provided information that was already publicly available on the Internet,” he emphasized.

The Cybertruck explosion occurred on January 1, 2025 near the hotel of US President-elect Donald Trump in Las Vegas. The driver of the pickup truck was killed and several bystanders suffered minor injuries. Earlier, Sheriff McMahill reported that a few seconds before the explosion, special forces soldier Livelsberger, who was driving the electric car, shot himself in the head.

Investigators are already establishing Livelsberger's motives. American media reported that the military man could have quarreled with his wife shortly before the explosion. Livelsberger has served in the military since 2006. He has been on business trips to Afghanistan, Tajikistan, Congo and Ukraine.
