San Francisco District Attorney Brooke Jenkins says that 20-year-old Daniel Moreno-Gama has been charged with attempting to kill the OpenAI CEO as well as a security guard at the residence when he threw the incendiary device at the gate of Sam Altman’s home on April 10. Moreno-Gama was arrested a short time later outside the headquarters of OpenAI, and police said that he threatened to burn down the business. Court documents say the man is opposed to artificial intelligence and had a list of other AI tech executives. Matt Cobo, the FBI's San Francisco Acting Special Agent in Charge said of the incident: “This was not spontaneous. This was planned, targeted and extremely serious."
