San Francisco police say they\u2019ve arrested a suspect who allegedly attacked the home of OpenAI CEO Sam Altman<\/a> and then made threats outside the company\u2019s headquarters.<\/p>\n

At around 3:43 am on Friday, officers responded to a report of a person throwing an incendiary weapon at the home of a CEO, San Francisco Chronicle <\/em>reported<\/a>, which was later identified as Altman\u2019s. A suspect, whose identity has not been released, was later arrested. No one was hurt.<\/p>\n

OpenAI\u2019s security team alerted employees about the apparent attack, Wired <\/em>reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt approximately 3:45 am PT, an unidentified individual approached Sam\u2019s residence and threw an incendiary device toward the property,\u201d the security team\u2019s note to staff reads. \u201cThe device landed nearby and extinguished. There were no injuries and only minimal damage was reported.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cShortly afterward, an individual matching the suspect\u2019s description was contacted by security outside MB1,\u201d it continues, referring to the company\u2019s HQ in the Mission Bay neighborhood. \u201cThis person made threatening statements about the building.\u201d<\/p>\n

In a statement to Wired<\/em>, an OpenAI spokesperson described the incendiary weapon as a Molotov cocktail.<\/p>\n

\u201cEarly this morning, someone threw a Molotov cocktail at Sam Altman\u2019s home and also made threats at our San Francisco headquarters. Thankfully, no one was hurt,\u201d the spokesperson said. \u201cWe deeply appreciate how quickly SFPD responded and the support from the city in helping keep our employees safe. The individual is in custody, and we\u2019re assisting law enforcement with their investigation.\u201d<\/p>\n

Security are keeping on their toes. Though the headquarters remains open, the security team informed staff that employees may notice an increased police and security presence around the building on Friday, and employees were cautioned to \u201cnot let anyone tailgate into the building,\u201d per Wired<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The alleged attack comes after heightened backlash against OpenAI for Altman\u2019s agreement with the Department of Defense to deploy its AI systems across the military. The company has periodically faced protests outside its headquarters, including one last month<\/a>. In November, its San Francisco office went on lockdown after it allegedly received a violent threat from an activist<\/a>.<\/p>\n
