Montreal youth accused of using AI to plot school attack
The RCMP said the youth was arrested Friday morning. Charges have not been laid yet and the investigation is ongoing, police said in a news release.
Montreal police have arrested a youth who allegedly used artificial intelligence to plot a school attack, according to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP). The identity of the suspect was withheld due to the Youth Criminal Justice Act. The investigation, initiated after the FBI shared intelligence, began a few weeks ago. Police allege the youth planned an attack at a school in Montreal and threatened various groups on Telegram using AI.
A peace bond has been sought to monitor and de-escalate the situation. The youth was set to appear in Montreal's Youth Division courthouse on Friday.
