Police Records Detail Sexual-Pressure Complaint at AI Group House

Summary

A woman escaped from AGI House, an AI-focused group residence in Hillsborough, California, by climbing over a gate after a male resident repeatedly pressured her to have sex, according to a police report reviewed by The New York Times. She called police at 2:22 a.m. from a Lyft and said she had been trapped; the report says the man told her she was old and would be alone forever, while she repeatedly declined his advances. Hillsborough police logged 37 incidents at the property since 2022, including at least 17 involving large parties or events, and officers were asked to conduct welfare checks there at least four times in 2025. The report places the incident within a broader New York Times investigation based on police records, court documents and interviews with more than 20 people, which identified at least 10 tech group houses in the San Francisco Bay Area and found complaints involving sexual harassment, rape allegations and residential operations. AGI House began as NeoGenesis in 2022 and was later rebranded after ChatGPT’s release. Its stated concept involved AI founders and researchers living together, hackathons and networking with prominent technology figures. The property’s manager disputed describing it as a hacker house or official residency program and said he had tried to reduce its party-house image. The reported allegations and police records do not establish that all AI group houses operate in the same way.
