69-year-old activist becomes first to be jailed over anti-AI protest

A 69-year-old activist has been jailed after participating in a protest outside OpenAI's San Francisco headquarters, the first imprisonment tied to an anti-AI demonstration. Retired teacher Wynd Kaufmyn surrendered after being convicted over her role in a February 2025 StopAI protest. Demonstrators had blocked OpenAI's doors while opposing the race to develop artificial superintelligence.
