OpenAI chief executive Sam Altman has denied allegations of sexual abuse made by his sister.<\/p>\n

Ann Altman’s lawyers filed a lawsuit in the US accusing him of regularly sexually abusing her between 1997 and 2006.<\/p>\n

In a joint statement with his mother and two brothers, Mr Altman<\/a><\/strong>, 39, said: “All of these claims are utterly untrue.”<\/p>\n

The lawsuit, filed in a court in Missouri, alleges counts of sexual assault and sexual battery which began when Ms Altman was three and her brother was 12.<\/p>\n

It alleges the abuse continued once he became an adult and while his 30-year-old sister was still a child.<\/p>\n

Mr Altman is the co-founder of OpenAI<\/a><\/strong> alongside a string of other names, including Elon Musk.<\/p>\n

He has become one of the world’s biggest tech names since the launch of OpenAI’s ChatGPT<\/a><\/strong> tool in 2022 and is estimated to be worth over $1bn (\u00a3810m), according to Forbes.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

His sister’s lawsuit seeks damages in excess of $75,000 (\u00a360,700), punitive damages, and for the costs of the lawsuit. It also requests a jury trial.<\/p>\n

The lawsuit states the alleged abuse caused Ms Altman to suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder, severe emotional distress, mental anguish, and depression.<\/p>\n

Mr Altman and his family said they had tried to provide financial and medical support to his sister.<\/p>\n

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

Lawyers for Ms Altman have not yet responded to her brother’s statement.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
