⚠️ Official Statement · April 13, 2026 · Updated
This Is No Longer A Single Incident.
This Is A Pattern of Terror.
In 48 hours, Sam Altman's home has been attacked twice. An Indiana elected official had his home shot at with a note reading "No data centers." A 20-year-old man charged with attempted murder had ties to an organized anti-AI movement. Three attacks. Multiple suspects. One movement.
"Words have power too. There was an incendiary article about me a few days ago... Now I am awake in the middle of the night and pissed, and thinking that I have underestimated the power of words and narratives." — Sam Altman, April 10, 2026
ATLA calls on Congress to do three things: Designate anti-AI violence as domestic terrorism. Hold hearings on the radicalization pipeline moving people from anti-AI online communities to real-world violence. Provide federal protection for AI researchers, executives, and infrastructure workers who are increasingly targets.
The debate about AI belongs in Congress, in courtrooms, and in the public square. Not at 3:45am outside someone's family home with an incendiary device. We will not be intimidated. The people building America's AI future will not be intimidated.
