On April 14, 2026, reports surfaced that Daniel Moreno-Gama, a 20-year-old from Texas, had been charged for crossing state lines into California with the intent to assassinate Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI. During the early hours of April 10, Moreno-Gama hurled Molotov cocktails at Altman’s San Francisco residence, igniting a fire but resulting in no injuries. He then proceeded to the OpenAI headquarters, where he smashed a glass door with a chair and threatened to set the building ablaze and harm its occupants. Security personnel promptly intervened, and the police subsequently arrested him. Upon his arrest, the police discovered an “anti-AI” manifesto in his possession, which voiced opposition to artificial intelligence, outlined the dangers AI poses to humanity, and listed the names and addresses of executives from other AI companies. Moreno-Gama now faces both state and federal charges, including attempted murder, attempted arson, and illegal possession of unregistered firearms. Federal prosecutors have indicated that if evidence reveals his attack was motivated by a desire to influence public policy or coerce government officials, the act could be classified as “domestic terrorism.”
