Only a week earlier, an Indianapolis councilman <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbs.org\/newshour\/nation\/indianapolis-councilman-says-shots-fired-at-home-and-no-data-centers-note-left-at-door\">reported 13 shots fired<\/a> at his door, with a note that read \u201cNo Data Centers,\u201d after he\u2019d supported a rezoning petition for a data center developer.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">These unsettling incidents have set off alarms in and around the AI industry. There\u2019s long been a vocal resistance to the technology, fueled by fears of job displacement, climate impact, and unconstrained development absent of safety guardrails. AI workers themselves have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/technology\/article\/2024\/jun\/04\/openai-google-ai-risks-letter#:~:text=%E2%80%9CSo%20long%20as%20there%20is,be%20transparent%20about%20their%20operations.\">warned<\/a> about serious risks.

Further investigation will take place to determine the attackers\u2019 motivations.

Last year, for example, a community utility authority board member in Ypsilanti, Michigan, reported that masked protesters visited his home to protest a \u201chigh performance computing facility,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mlive.com\/news\/ann-arbor\/2025\/10\/masked-data-center-protestors-litter-ypsilanti-utility-officials-yards-with-computer-parts.html\">according to <em>MLive<\/em><\/a>, and one protester allegedly smashed a printer on their lawn.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">Shortly after the first attack on Altman\u2019s home, the CEO appeared to partially blame critical media coverage for the violence. Days earlier, <em>The New Yorker<\/em> had <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newyorker.com\/magazine\/2026\/04\/13\/sam-altman-may-control-our-future-can-he-be-trusted\">published a lengthy investigation<\/a> that compiled over a hundred interviews and found that many people who had worked with him distrusted him and found inconsistencies in his actions. \u201cThere was an incendiary article about me a few days ago,\u201d Altman <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.samaltman.com\/2279512\">wrote on his personal blog<\/a>. \u201cSomeone said to me yesterday they thought it was coming at a time of great anxiety about AI and that it made things more dangerous for me. I brushed it aside. Now I am awake in the middle of the night and pissed, and thinking that I have underestimated the power of words and narratives.\u201d (He later walked back his rhetoric toward the article in response to a critique on X, <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/sama\/status\/2042789312400363702\">writing<\/a>, \u201cThat was a bad word choice and i wish i hadn\u2019t used it.\u201d)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">Others took up the theme as well. White House AI adviser Sriram Krishnan, for example, <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/sriramk\/status\/2043494156123701622\">wrote on X<\/a>, \u201cI think the doomers need to take a serious look at what they have helped incite and not just rely on \u2018we condemn this and have said this is not the rational response\u2019.

I dislike Sam as much as the next guy but violence is unacceptable.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">Even beyond apocalyptic scenarios, AI is reshaping the world\u2019s social fabric in unpredictable ways. Many reports have detailed the psychological spirals that talking to an AI system for days on end can send people down, including allegations of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/06\/13\/technology\/chatgpt-ai-chatbots-conspiracies.html\">AI-induced psychosis<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/tech\/889152\/google-gemini-ai-wrongful-death-lawsuit\">suicide<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.npr.org\/2025\/12\/12\/nx-s1-5642599\/a-new-lawsuit-blames-chatgpt-for-a-murder-suicide\">murder<\/a>. That\u2019s layered on top of real-life experiences of job loss due to AI, plus more existential concern about the world AI will create. \u201cTake any labor movement that has been potentially rightly concerned about disruption and change, and then supercharge that with the AI apocalypse, and then supercharge that with chatbot sycophancy and romantic partners that are telling you to kill your ex-husband or telling you to marry your therapist or whatever it is. It\u2019s not a huge surprise that we\u2019re seeing scary acts like this,\u201d says Purdue University assistant political science professor Daniel Schiff.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">Schiff says that while we\u2019d never want to see such violent attacks, he hopes that recent events can serve as \u201ca constructive wake up call\u201d for companies and policymakers to be extra thoughtful in the decisions they make about the technology. \u201cIt doesn\u2019t excuse people who are acting poorly, but it does tell you that something is a little bit off, and not just in the heads of the people who are acting in this way,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--block-placement _1o279nj2 _1o279nj0 duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-pullquote qnnwq0\">\n<div class=\"qnnwq1\"><\/div>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup qnnwq2 _1xwtict9\">\u201cA handful of commentators have seized on this incident to paint the broader movement for AI safety as dangerous\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">A suspect in one of the attacks <a href=\"https:\/\/pauseai.info\/statement-sam-altman-attack-2026\">appeared to have joined the open Discord server<\/a> of PauseAI, a group that supports a pause on frontier AI development until proven safety guardrails are in place. The organization released a statement saying he had no role in the group and had not attended any events. While PauseAI says it \u201cunequivocally condemns this attack and all forms of violence, intimidation and harassment,\u201d it also called out that \u201ca handful of commentators have seized on this incident to paint the broader movement for AI safety as dangerous or extremist.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">PauseAI organizes protests and town halls and encourages followers to call policymakers about their concerns with AI. Its efforts give people with real concerns for the future a way to act peacefully, it says in its public statement. \u201cThe alternative to organised, peaceful movements is not silence,\u201d the group writes. \u201cIt is isolated, desperate individuals acting alone, without community, without accountability and without anyone urging restraint or offering peaceful paths for action. That is a far more dangerous world and it is exactly the world we are striving to prevent.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">While not specific to AI-related violence, there are tested ways to build resilience against political violence. The Bridging Divides Initiative <a href=\"https:\/\/bridgingdivides.princeton.edu\/key-political-violence-and-resilience-trends-2025\">recommends<\/a> community leaders and officials coordinate responses to risks in advance, and take part in deescalation training.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">While Schiff doesn\u2019t anticipate extreme rhetoric around AI ending, he suggests trying to turn down the temperature by pursuing positive ways to prepare collectively for the changes AI can bring, such as determining the appropriate social safety nets to deal with job displacement. \u201cWe unleashed Pandora\u2019s box,\u201d Schiff says. \u201cLet\u2019s figure out how we\u2019re going to open this box more carefully in the future.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tly2fw0\"><span
