Gefängnisstrafe nach Überfall: Unmaskierter US-Bankräuber nutzte ChatGPT bei Tatplanung
Chatbots wie ChatGPT werden inzwischen so breit genutzt, dass auch ein Bankräuber in den USA darauf zur Planung seines Überfalls zurückgriff. So richtig hilfreich war der Einsatz der KI für ihn nicht.
In Omaha, a 23-year-old bank robber sentenced to nearly ten years in prison utilized ChatGPT to plan his crime. According to authorities, he researched various aspects of the heist, such as the police response time and gun maintenance. During the actual robbery, the cameras captured his unmasked face as he threatened bank employees with a weapon and stole around $9,175 (about €7,855).
Additionally, his vehicle with license plate was recorded by neighborhood security cameras. He was later seen on video records of several stores in a shopping center, grabbing cash. Upon encountering police near his home, he fled and dropped a bundle of money. At his arrest, he denied involvement in the bank robbery but allowed investigators access to his phone, where they discovered conversations with ChatGPT.
The sentence included 37 months for the robbery and an additional 84 months for brandishing a weapon during the crime.
