Altman forced to confront claims at OpenAI trial that he's a prolific liar

Sam Altman testified in Elon Musk’s lawsuit over OpenAI’s shift away from its nonprofit roots.

Altman said he felt betrayed when OpenAI’s board briefly removed him in 2023 and briefly considered Microsoft’s offer.

He said he returned because he believed in OpenAI’s mission, underscoring the leadership and governance dispute.

The case could affect who controls OpenAI, how it is funded, and whether its AI can be used for profit.
