TOKYO — Three decades since the deadly sarin gas attack on the Tokyo subway by the Aum Shinrikyo cult, Japan is contending with starkly different threats from lone-wolf attackers who turn to artificial intelligence and other online tools for help.
On Jan. 1, an active-duty Army Green Beret blew up a Tesla Cybertruck outside the Trump International Hotel Las Vegas, injuring at least seven people. Local police said the solider, who killed himself during the attack, used ChatGPT to help plan the bombing, asking the AI model questions like the maximum amount of gunpowder he could legally purchase.
