샘 알트먼 공격범의 집에서 매니페스토 발견…오픈AI CEO에게 보낸 메시지 포함

Investigators found a manifesto by the alleged attacker of Sam Altman, warning of AI's existential threat and issuing a personal threat to the OpenAI CEO. The document, attributed to Alexander Moreno-Gama, also listed other AI executives, leading to federal and state charges. Altman acknowledged AI concerns but condemned violence, urging de-escalation.

Investigators probing the attack on Sam Altman have reportedly found a manifesto allegedly written by the attacker, warning that artificial intelligence (AI) would lead to the destruction of humanity. Interestingly, it also contained a personal message directed at the OpenAI CEO himself. According to a report by The Wall Street Journal, the manifesto, attributed to Alexander Moreno-Gama, warned that AI posed an existential threat to humankind. The message to Altman was threatening: “If by some miracle you live, then I would take this as a sign from the divine to redeem yourself.” In simpler words, the attacker said that if you survive the attack, don't waste your second chance, and start being a better person. The document raises questions about the growing intensity of public sentiment toward the leaders of the most powerful artificial intelligence (AI) companies in the world.The 20-year-old man carried a list of other AI executives and investors, investigators say, as the FBI raided his home in Texas. Moreno-Gama had a manifesto at the time of his arrest. The document is described as a “three-part series" and reportedly includes the names of other AI executives and investors.What charges Moreno-Gama is facingMoreno-Gama faces both federal and state charges in connection with the incident, including attempted murder and arson. His public defender in the state case, Diamond Ward, pushed back against the charges, arguing that prosecutors had significantly overstated the severity of what occurred.“It is unfair and unjust for the San Francisco District Attorney and the federal government to fearmonger and exploit this young man's vulnerability simply due to the high-profile status of the people involved,” Ward said, describing the incident as “a property crime, at best.”What Sam Altman has to say on the attack Sam Altman shared a rare photograph of his family on his personal blog, explaining that he hoped the image “might dissuade the next person from throwing a Molotov cocktail at our house, no matter what they think about me.”In a broader statement, Altman acknowledged that concern about AI and its consequences is legitimate, but drew a firm line between criticism and violence, saying, “We should de-escalate the rhetoric and tactics.”
