Description: During the 2026–27 school year, Parkview High School in Lilburn, Georgia, reportedly received at least four AI-generated bomb threats, including masked phone calls that prompted repeated lockdowns or soft lockdowns. School police described the threats as following a recurring pattern and were investigating with the GBI and FBI. Authorities had not identified a suspect or established publicly whether the same person was responsible for every threat.
Editor Notes: The repeated threats are treated in this incident ID as one ongoing incident series because school officials described them as a recurring pattern involving AI-generated threats and masked phone numbers. Authorities had not publicly established whether the same actor was responsible for each threat; the incident may be split if later evidence shows materially independent perpetrators or campaigns. (1) 08/28/2026: Parkview High School entered a soft lockdown after a reported hoax phone call; (2) 09/11/2026: an AI-generated threatening message delivered through a masked phone number prompted another soft lockdown; (3) 09/14/2026: a fourth reported AI-generated bomb threat of the school year prompted a lockdown; (4) by 09/15/2026: school police were investigating the recurring threats with the GBI and FBI.

Variants
A "variant" is an AI incident similar to a known case—it has the same causes, harms, and AI system. Instead of listing it separately, we group it under the first reported incident. Unlike other incidents, variants do not need to have been reported outside the AIID. Learn more from the research paper.
