In May 2024, several former OpenAI employees came forward and revealed that before joining the organisation, they were forced to sign a contract which forbade them from talking negatively about the company after leaving it. The contract also had a clause that the employee would be sued in case they revealed the existence of such a contract. Thereafter, Sam took to X and claimed that he had no information about the existence of such a contract and vowed action on the issue.

Allegations of Using Scarlett Johansson As An AI Voice Modulator Without Permission
In the same month, actress Scarlett Johansson took to X in which she claimed that Sam, without her consent, used her voice for the voice modulator “Sky.” In the tweet, she claimed that Altman had earlier approached with an offer to lend her voice to the AI; however, citing personal safety reasons, she declined. After she sent a legal notice to Sam and OpenAI, the voice modulator was removed with Altman apologizing to the actress.

His Removal from As The CEO and Allegations of Abuse
In the same year, Altman was removed from the company after the Board of Directors decided to relieve him as he was “not consistently candid in his communications with the board and the broader OpenAI team.” However, he was reinstated later. Following this, two of the board members who advocated for his removal stepped down from their positions. They later claimed that Altman was a “liar” and that he had engaged in “psychological abuse” against many senior appointment holders at OpenAI. Later, other board members refuted their allegations as false and baseless and described Sam as “highly forthcoming.”

Removing Employees for Raising Safety Issues
In 2024, a former employee named Leopold Aschenbrenner claimed in a podcast that his services were terminated with OpenAI after he raised concerns regarding the safety of ChatGPT’s algorithms which might end up getting into the hands of “foreign actors.”

Accusations of Prioritising Profits Over Safety
In October 2024, former Google employee and Nobel Prize winner Geoffrey Hinton, known as the Godfather of AI, accused Sam of making money over the safety of his employees and the AI. As per him, this was the main reason behind Sam’s removal from the company as its CEO.

Allegations of Abuse by His Sister
He attracted controversy in January 2025 when his sister Ann Altman filed a lawsuit against him accusing him of sexually and financially abusing her. In the complaint, she claimed that he had not only withheld her $401k but had also sexually assaulted her on multiple occasions between 1997 and 2006. Sam, however, later denied the allegations as baseless and claimed that she required mental help and that she had earlier blamed other family members as well. Other family members also came in support of Sam and refuted her allegations.
