OpenAI CEO Sam Altman Denies Sister's Sexual Abuse Allegations
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman Denies Sister's Sexual Abuse Allegations
OpenAI co-founder Sam Altman has vehemently denied sexual abuse allegations leveled against him by his sister in a lawsuit filed on Monday. The lawsuit claims Altman repeatedly sexually abused her for nearly a decade, beginning when she was a child.
Altman's Response and Family Support
Altman has issued a statement calling the allegations "utterly untrue" and has been supported by his family, who have released a joint statement dismissing the claims. They have also stated that his sister has been struggling with mental health issues.
The lawsuit, filed in California Superior Court, seeks $250,000 in damages and a jury trial. It details graphic allegations of abuse, including rape, that allegedly occurred between the ages of 8 and 17.
Legal Battle Ahead
The lawsuit has triggered a legal battle that is likely to unfold in the coming months. Altman's lawyers have already filed a motion to dismiss the case, arguing that it is "factually baseless and legally insufficient."
The Impact on OpenAI
The allegations against Altman have also raised questions about his leadership of OpenAI, a company at the forefront of artificial intelligence research. Some have called for him to step down, while others have defended him, citing the lack of evidence and his family's support.
OpenAI has not yet commented on the lawsuit.
