OpenAI CEO Sam Altman was reportedly targeted in a second security incident on Sunday morning, with two suspects arrested following a shooting at his Russian Hill residence in San Francisco.
According to reports from The San Francisco Standard, the incident occurred outside Altman's home, leading to the arrest of two individuals. Police have charged the suspects with negligent discharge of a firearm.
"The suspects were arrested and charged with negligent discharge, according to a police report," the publication stated.
This marks the second security incident involving the prominent AI executive in recent times, raising concerns about the safety of high-profile tech leaders in the Bay Area. The shooting occurred despite Altman's previous security concerns, though details about potential motives or connections between the incidents remain unclear.
Local authorities have not released additional information about the suspects or whether Altman was present during the incident. The OpenAI CEO has been at the forefront of artificial intelligence development and has become one of the most recognizable figures in the technology industry.
The incident comes as security for tech executives has become an increasing concern in Silicon Valley, where high-profile figures often face heightened risks due to their visibility and influence. Police continue to investigate the circumstances surrounding Sunday's shooting.
