The widow of a man killed in a mass shooting at Florida State University is suing ChatGPT maker OpenAI, blaming the artificial intelligence chatbot for contributing to the tragedy. The lawsuit says the alleged gunman Phoenix Ikner relied on ChatGPT to determine what type of gun to use and which location would allow for the most potential victims, among other information. The lawsuit was filed by Vandana Joshi. Her husband was one of two people killed and six others were wounded. She said in a statement Monday that “OpenAI knew this would happen." OpenAI denies wrongdoing.

A federal judge in New York has ruled that the Trump administration's cancellation of over $100 million in humanities grants was unconstitutional. Judge Colleen McMahon on Thursday sided with The Authors Guild and others who sued DOGE and the National Endowment for the Humanities. She permanently barred the administration from terminating the grants. The judge also criticized DOGE's use of artificial intelligence to label and target projects as "diversity, equity and inclusion. Several groups that sued the government hailed the decision as a victory for free speech and the humanities. The White House and Department of Justice have not yet commented on the ruling or indicated whether an appeal will be filed.

The National Park Service says debris from the demolition of the White House East Wing that was dumped at a nearby public golf course has tested positive for lead, chromium and other toxic metals. An interim report by a Virginia engineering firm says the toxic metals were detected at levels above laboratory reporting limits in soil at the East Potomac Golf Links, a historic Washington golf course President Donald Trump plans to renovate. The park service began dumping debris from the East Wing onto the golf course in October. The Interior Department oversees the park service and said Tuesday the White House project "passed all standards set by law.”
