Under Threat of Perjury, OpenAI’s Former CTO Is Admitting Some Very Interesting Stuff About Sam Altman

In a deposition for Elon Musk’s lawsuit, former OpenAI CTO Mira Murati said Sam Altman was not always truthful and had undermined her role.

Murati also said Altman told her lawyers had cleared an AI model to skip internal safety board review, but she did not believe that claim.

The testimony adds sworn allegations to the broader fight over OpenAI’s governance, leadership turmoil, and restructuring away from nonprofit roots.
