Judge dismisses Sam Altman's sister's sexual abuse lawsuit

A federal judge has dismissed the sexual abuse lawsuit filed by Ann Altman against her brother, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman. US District Judge Zachary Bluestone cited Ann Altman's refusal to undergo an independent medical examination and failure to meet other court deadlines as the reasons for dismissal, rather than ruling on the merits of the allegations. The lawsuit, which accused Sam Altman of childhood sexual abuse, had previously been amended after initial claims were deemed time-barred. Both Sam Altman and his family have denied the allegations, with Sam Altman also withdrawing a defamation counterclaim against his sister. AI
