San Francisco police have arrested a 20-year-old man after a Molotov cocktail was thrown at the home of OpenAI leader Sam Altman, setting fire to a perimeter gate.
Officers responded to a call in the North Beach neighbourhood of the city in the early hours of Friday.
While SFPD did not identify the man or the house that was attacked, a spokeswoman for OpenAI, the major artificial intelligence (AI) company behind ChatGPT, confirmed on Friday that the incident was at Altman's home.
A spokeswoman added that the same person had "also made threats at our San Francisco headquarters".
"Thankfully, no one was hurt," the spokeswoman said. "We deeply appreciate how quickly SFPD responded and the support from the city in helping keep our employees safe."
