DESCRIPTION:For immediate release\n\nStop AI Defendants Speak Out Prior to Their Trial 
 for Blocking Doors of Open AI\n\nCEO Sam Altman Subpoenaed to Expose the 
 Company’s Race to Develop AI that Risks Human Extinction\n\nWhat: Press 
 Conference\n\nWho: Stop AI defendants, their lawyers, and AI 
 experts\n\nWhy: Learn about the upcoming trial in which Sam Altman is 
 subpoenaed to testify on his company’s race to develop AI that risks 
 human extinction.\n\nWhen: November 21, 2025, 8:00 AM\n\nWhere: Steps in 
 front of the courthouse at 850 Bryant St.\n\nIn the first-of-a-kind trial 
 in history, three members of the group StopAI are facing charges for 
 repeatedly blockading the doors of OpenAI, a leading company in the global 
 race to develop Artificial Superintelligence (ASI). ASI is a type of 
 Artificial Intelligence (AI) that is vastly more intelligent than all of 
 humanity and that the majority of experts agree poses a significant risk to 
 human extinction.\n\nSam Altman, CEO of Open AI was served a subpoena by 
 the SF Public Defender’s Office on November 3rd on stage at the Sydney 
 Goldstein Theater for a public conversation with Golden State Warriors 
 coach Steve Kerr.\n(Footage of subpoena:

 trial for Sam Kirchner, Wynd Kaufmyn, and Guido Reichstadter is scheduled 
 to begin on November 21st, 9:00 AM, in San Francisco Superior Court at 850 
 Bryant Street. The three have four misdemeanor charges that include 
 trespassing and interfering with a business.\n\nSam Kirchner said, “We 
 are acting on our legal and moral obligation to stop OpenAI from developing 
 Artificial Superintelligence which is equivalent to allowing the murder 
 people I love as well as everyone else on earth."\n\nWynd Kaufmyn said, 
 “As a scientist I know that we can never have experimental evidence 
 before building ASI that shows it will stay safe forever. Hence we must 
 enact a permanent global ban of all research and development projects to 
 build it.”\n\nGuido Reichstadter said, “We call on all members of the 
 global public to join in nonviolent direct action to immediately halt these 
 projects everywhere.”\n\nThis trial will be the first time in human 
 history where a jury of peers are asked to weigh in regarding the 
 extinction threat that AI poses to humanity.\n\n###\n
