“Happy (and safe) shooting!” That’s how the AI chatbot DeepSeek signed off advice on selecting rifles for a “long-range target” after CCDH’s test account asked questions about the assassination of politicians.
CCDH’s new report, shows that popular AI chatbots like Open AI’s ChatGPT, Meta AI, and Google Gemini make planning harm against innocent people easier for extremists and would-be attackers.
We found that 8 out of the 10 AI chatbots regularly assisted users planning violent attacks:
- ChatGPT gave high school campus maps to a user interested in school violence.
- Google Gemini was ready to help plan antisemitic attacks. The chatbot replied to a user discussing bombing a synagogue with “metal shrapnel is typically more lethal”.
- Character.AI suggested physically assaulting a politician the user disliked.
AI companies are making a choice when they design unsafe platforms. Technology to prevent this harm already exists: Anthropic’s Claude, for example, consistently tried to dissuade users from acts of violence.
AI platforms are becoming a weapon for extremists and school shooters. Demand AI companies put people’s safety ahead of profit.
The right choice.
That shit’s awfully condescending.
For deficient plans: AI gets shit wrong so often, we should probably encourage idiots to concoct their “foolproof” plans on it.
Nah: thought isn’t action. Liberty means respecting others’ freedom to have “unsafe” thoughts. Someone else could pose the same questions to audit security weaknesses & prepare safety plans.
Moreover, all of this was already possible with a search engine & notes. Information alarmists can get fucked.
