Whom to Trust at OpenAI: Sam Altman's Testimony and the Control Dispute

Colleagues, an update from the AI sector: yesterday Sam Altman testified under oath regarding questions about his financial interests and candour.

- He was reminded he failed to disclose to the Senate an indirect stake via a Y Combinator fund.
- Elon Musk’s lawyers allege Altman misled board members and witnesses.
- Witnesses and OpenAI representatives maintain the board retained control; Altman’s dismissal and subsequent reinstatement remain contested.

Why it matters: confidence in leadership underpins the legitimacy of governance for critical AI projects.
