On Tuesday, U.S. District Judge Zachary Bluestone dismissed the lawsuit Ann Altman filed last year accusing her brother, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, of sexual abuse. The judge dismissed the case with prejudice, meaning it cannot be refiled in that court. The dismissal followed Ann Altman's failure to appear for an independent medical exam and miss other court deadlines. Sam Altman's team had called the claims “deeply hurtful and entirely untrue.” The judge denied Altman's request for attorney fees.
Why it matters
