Rise in threats against AI executives

A security guard at Anthropic stopped a man who entered by tailgating and claimed an executive would be killed.

The April incident occurred five days after an attempted firebombing of OpenAI CEO Sam Altman’s home.

A Texas man charged with attempted murder and attempted arson for the Altman attack left a manifesto advocating killing AI CEOs and investors.

An Anthropic job applicant using a fake name threatened to skin employees’ children as punishment for alleged theft of his work.

In June, Anthropic reported an Oklahoma man to police after he threatened violence while seeking a refund for lack of human customer support.
