A lawsuit against OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, filed by his sister Ann Altman, has been dismissed by a US district judge. The case alleged sexual abuse occurring over two decades ago, but was thrown out after Ann Altman failed to attend an independent medical examination, despite being warned of the consequences. Sam Altman has denied the allegations, and the family has expressed concern for Ann's mental health, stating they have provided her with financial support.
The lawsuit was initiated in January 2025, with claims that the abuse began when Ann was three years old. The family asserts that her allegations have evolved over time and are untrue, emphasizing their ongoing support for her wellbeing and medical needs.
