OpenAI chief executive Sam Altman’s sister, Ann Altman, has filed a lawsuit alleging that he regularly sexually abused her between 1997 and 2006.<\/p>\n

The lawsuit, which was filed on 6 January in a US District Court in the Eastern District of Missouri, alleges that the abuse started when she was three and Mr Altman was 12.<\/p>\n

In a joint statement on X<\/a>, with his mother and two brothers, Mr Altman denied the allegations, saying “all of these claims are utterly untrue.”<\/p>\n

“Caring for a family member who faces mental health challenges is incredibly difficult,” the statement added.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

“This situation causes immense pain to our entire family.”<\/p>\n

In the filing, which has been seen by the BBC, Ms Altman alleged that the abuse, which took place over many years, included rape. <\/p>\n

The lawsuit added the last instance of the alleged abuse took place when Mr Altman was an adult but she was still a minor.<\/p>\n

The lawsuit requested a jury trial and damages in excess of $75,000 ($60,100).<\/p>\n

Ms Altman has previously made similar allegations against her brother on social media platforms such as X<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Mr Altman is one of the technology world’s most high profile figures.<\/p>\n

In late 2022, OpenAi launched the ChatGPT generative artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot.<\/p>\n
