Argentine Federal Police (PFA) officers on Thursday detained a 15-year-old after the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) detected that the minor had used ChatGPT to plan a school shooting, local outlets reported.
\n\nThe Argentine newspaper Clarín reports that the arrested teenager resides in the Buenos Aires province of Quilmes and planned to carry out a school shooting and murder his fellow classmates at some point in 2027. Police officers arrested the teenager at his residence during a Thursday night operation. Due to local legislation, Argentine officials have not disclosed the teenager’s identity to the public.
\n\nThe teenager’s arrest, Clarín explained, stems from an investigation that began on August 19 after the FBI’s Attaché at the U.S. Embassy in Argentina identified an email address linked to messages of a possible school shooting — holding conversations with ChatGPT to organize a massacre. The FBI official reportedly warned that the user manifested the intention to carry out a school shooting and assassinate classmates during early 2027, with the possibility of bringing the date forward.
\n\nSome of the conversations between the user and the artificial intelligence tool reportedly involved the arrested teenager expressing interest in purchasing “tactical” attire to carry out the shooting.
