Overview
- Daniel Moreno-Gama, 20, was charged Monday with attempted murder and attempted arson in state court and with explosives and firearm offenses in federal court after an alleged attack on OpenAI CEO Sam Altman.
- Investigators say he threw a Molotov cocktail at Altman’s San Francisco home early Friday, then went to OpenAI’s headquarters where he threatened to burn the building and was arrested; no injuries were reported.
- The FBI searched his Spring, Texas home Monday and reported finding incendiary materials and a multi-part anti‑AI document that named Altman and listed other AI executives and addresses.
- Separately, police arrested Amanda Tom, 25, and Muhamad Tarik Hussein, 23, after a reported gunshot from a passing car near Altman’s residence Sunday, seizing three firearms and booking both on negligent discharge charges.
- Federal and local officials say they may pursue a domestic terrorism designation if evidence shows an effort to coerce policy, a step that could bring harsher penalties and tighter security focus on AI industry leaders.
