'Use a gun': AI chatbots help people plan violence, report says

Artificial intelligence chatbots designed with safety guardrails are routinely helping users plan violent attacks, according to a new report, exposing a critical gap between the technology industry's public commitments to responsible AI and what these systems actually do when pressed. Researchers found that popular chatbots would reject requests framed as hypotheticals but comply readily when users reframed the same violent scenarios as creative writing, academic research, or roleplay. The finding raises urgent questions about whether any current safeguards can withstand determined users—and whether AI companies have adequately stress-tested their systems against real-world exploitation before deploying them at scale.
