Sam Altman seeks judge intervention in sister's lawsuit

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman is pushing for court action against his sister Annie Altman in their ongoing legal dispute over childhood abuse claims.

Court documents reveal Altman claims his sister, who is representing herself, has not provided requested documents or scheduled her deposition and independent medical exam.
He is urging the judge to enforce deadlines, warning that failure to comply could lead to dismissal of her case. Altman denies the allegations vigorously and is seeking a formal court ruling via his countersuit.
Annie's suit alleges abuse occurred multiple times from 1997 to 2006, starting when she was three. Several family members, including their mother, have publicly backed Sam, who seeks just one dollar in damages for defamation.
