The suspect was accused of throwing a Molotov cocktail at the residence of OpenAI founder and CEO Sam Altman and also made threats outside the AI giant’s San Francisco headquarters. OpenAI said, “Fortunately, no one was injured.” The company added, “We are very grateful that the San Francisco Police Department was able to respond so quickly, and we appreciate the support provided by the city government in ensuring the safety of our employees. The suspect has been detained, and we are assisting the police with the investigation.” As of now, Altman has not made a public statement regarding the arrest.
