Woman Accused of Using ChatGPT to Plot Murders of Two Men

A 21-year-old woman in Seoul has been charged with murdering two men after investigators say she used prescription sedatives mixed with alcohol. She didn’t figure all this out on her own, though. She did her murder research using ChatGPT.

The suspect, identified only by her surname, was arrested on February 25, 2026, and charged with two counts of murder and one count of attempted murder. According to the police, the woman used ChatGPT to research how to commit the crimes and then carried out the attacks.

The police investigation found that the woman used ChatGPT to learn how to mix prescription sedatives with alcohol to create a lethal cocktail. She then used this information to carry out the attacks on the two men.

The use of ChatGPT in the commission of a crime is a new and concerning trend. The police are urging people to be aware of the potential risks of using AI-powered tools for malicious purposes.

The case has raised questions about the responsibility of AI companies to prevent their tools from being used for harm. The police are working with the AI company to understand how their tool was used in the commission of the crime.

The woman is currently being held in custody and is facing trial. The police are urging anyone with information about the case to come forward.
