The American service member who authorities say blew up a Tesla Cybertruck in front of the Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas last week used artificial intelligence to plan the explosion, according to the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department.
Sheriff Kevin McMahill said at a press conference on Tuesday that Trooper Matthew Livelsberger began using Chat GPT to obtain information on how to carry out his plan.
Authorities did not indicate what results ChatGPT gave the suspect in response to his searches about explosives and firearms.
THE CNN has reached out to OpenAI for comment.
Authorities released new information about the explosion, emphasizing that Livelsberger used a bomb and made a six-page manifesto on his cell phone.
“This new information comes with more questions than answers. I will not give an opinion on what the documents mean, nor will we release information or documents that have not been thoroughly verified” by agency investigators, along with the FBI and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, McMahill said.
The document is additional evidence to two previously released letters in which the suspect wrote about “political grievances,” armed conflicts elsewhere and domestic issues in the days leading up to his suicide, authorities said Friday.
Livelsberger, 37, of Colorado, was on leave from his base in Germany at the time of Wednesday’s explosion, sources told CNN . He took his own life with a gunshot shortly before the car exploded and seven other people were injured, authorities said.
