The woman called the Hillsborough police station at 2.22am while riding in a Lyft, telling officers she had been trapped at the property by the resident, according to the report. The man told her she was old and 'would be alone forever', according to police files reviewed by the paper. He was 'persistent in attempting to convince' the woman 'to have sex with him, and she repeatedly declined.'
The incident was among 37 incidents logged by Hillsborough police at AGI House since 2022. At least 17 were related to complaints about large parties and events, according to police reports.
AGI House, short for artificial general intelligence, is one of the most prominent tech group homes to emerge during the AI boom, according to The New York Times. The paper's investigation found that some group tech houses have also become sites of sexual harassment cases and rape allegations, based on police reports, court records and interviews with more than 20 people in the AI industry.
The houses have become networking hubs for startup founders, engineers and other technology workers, with some residents paying as much as $10,000 a month for a room. The New York Times identified at least 10 such group houses in the San Francisco Bay Area, while noting that others operate more quietly.
