Definitely it's a thing.

Good morning and welcome to The Daily Oz.

Can you sue a chatbot for helping a murderer?

A first-of-its-kind legal battle surrounding OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT, is unfolding in the US state of Florida.

The suit claims the company and its CEO, Sam Altman, failed to warn users that ChatGPT can be dangerous.

This case and other related ongoing actions raise the same question.

If AI helps someone plan a killing, who is actually responsible?

We are going to unpack everything you need to know in today's deep dive, but first here is a quick word from TDA's Editor-in-Chief, Billy.

Yeah, so there are a few key players, the first being OpenAI.

Now, this is the huge US-based AI company founded in 2015, led by CEO Sam Altman.

We talked about OpenAI recently on the pod because of this lawsuit between the founders, Sam Altman and a guy called Elon Musk.

So there's been plenty of media attention around OpenAI in recent years, but its most well-known product is ChatGPT.

All the time.

That is, of course, the AI chatbot launched to the public in 2022.

Hundreds of millions of users around the world engage with it constantly.

It is everywhere.

Listeners are probably engaging with it frequently.
