A 20-year-old American student who vanished following an argument over artificial intelligence has been found dead in a Japanese forest. James 'Weston' Higginbotham, an Auburn University undergraduate, was discovered on 6 June in a remote, mountainous area near Kyoto.
His disappearance followed a family disagreement, in part about the environmental impact of ChatGPT, during a celebratory trip to Japan organised to mark his younger brother's high school graduation.
