🔆A Massachusetts teenager has been charged with murdering his mother and brother. Authorities allege he used ChatGPT to generate ideas about killing family members before carrying out the attacks.

According to a statement released Wednesday, prosecutors said the suburban Boston teen consulted the AI chatbot "for theoretical ideas or fantasies regarding killing his family." Specific details on the dates of the killings and the suspect's age were not provided.

The case is drawing fresh scrutiny over AI safeguards, representing one of the most direct allegations yet linking a major AI platform to a violent crime.
