Authorities in Las Vegas say the man who blew up a Tesla Cybertruck and killed himself in front of the Trump Hotel used the AI service chat GPT to plan it. NPR's Kirk Sigler has the latest on the investigation into the New Year's Day explosion.
Las Vegas Sheriff Kevin McMayhill says the Cybertruck driver, Matthew Livelsberger, used artificial intelligence to learn how much explosives he'd need and where to buy them. McMayhill says it's still unclear why he chose Las Vegas.
Do we consider this a terrorist attack or an attempted terrorist attack? And I would just simply say that we haven't closed any doors on where our investigation is going to lead us.
Authorities also released surveillance footage showing Livelsberger pouring racing fuel on the truck, which they say contained 60 pounds of explosives that ignited after he shot himself. Police say the decorated 37-year-old active-duty Green Beret had no prior record and hadn't been considered a threat. Kirk Sigler, NPR News.
