A US Army Green Beret in Las Vegas used generative AI, including ChatGPT, to plan an attack that involved detonating a Tesla Cybertruck outside the Trump hotel. The soldier, Matthew Livelsberger, fatally shot himself before the explosion.
A soldier who detonated a Tesla Cybertruck outside the Trump hotel in Las Vegas used generative AI, including ChatGPT, to help plan the attack, police have said. Matthew Livelsberger, 37, a US Army Green Beret, fatally shot himself just before the truck exploded outside the hotel on New Year's Day. Police in Las Vegas say they have now reviewed Livelsberger's ChatGPT searches prior to the explosion.
According to officers, the searches indicate he was looking for information on explosive targets, the speed at which certain rounds of ammunition would travel, and whether fireworks were legal in Arizona. Kevin McMahill, sheriff of the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department, called Livelsberger's use of generative AI in planning the attack a 'game changer'. 'This is the first incident that I'm aware of on US soil where ChatGPT is utilised to help an individual build a particular device,' he said. 'It's a concerning moment.' Officials said last week that Livelsberger left notes in which he labelled the explosion as a stunt which he hoped would be a 'wake-up call' for a nation he said was 'terminally ill and heading towards collapse'. The notes touched on political grievances, societal problems and domestic and international issues, including the war in Ukraine. However, according to officials, Livelsberger harboured no ill will toward president-elect Donald Trump and in one of the notes he left, he said the country needed to 'rally around' him and Tesla boss Elon Musk. He also left mobile phone notes saying he needed to 'cleanse' his mind 'of the brothers I've lost and relieve myself of the burden of the lives I took
