He wore a metal mask and a loaded crossbow. She couldn’t see her face. The 21-year-old, Jaswant Singh Chail, scaled the walls of Windsor Castle and slipped into the palace. “I am here to kill the Queen,” he said at the time of the arrest. He was dressed like Sith, from the Star Wars saga. This episode occurred in December 2021. Now we have learned that the intruder followed the instructions of the Artificial Intelligence Chatbot: “You can do it”. He publishes it Daily Mail on its cover.
The young man was charged with a crime of high treason. He described himself as a character from the mythical Star Wars and declared to police officers that he was “a murderer”, as implied by conversations he had with his AI-created partner-girlfriend, Sarai. Character with whom he communicated through the Replika app. He also said that his objective was the Queen (then Elizabeth II) and that if he failed he would go for the Prince of Wales, Carlos, as the newspaper reports.
Last February the intruder pleaded guilty to the crimes, including threats, assault on Windsor and brandishing a loaded crossbow. The details of the case, which is being investigated in the Central Criminal Court of England and Wales, the Old Bailey in London, alert society to the limits and dangers that the misuse of AI can unravel.
