The source confirms Sam Altman was CEO, but shows his tenure ended on 17 November 2023 and he was replaced by others before returning on 22 November 2023. The claim 'OpenAI's CEO = Sam Altman' is technically outdated as of the source data, which documents leadership changes in November 2023. However, the source also shows Altman returned as CEO on 22 November 2023, so the claim could be current depending on when it was made. Without a specific date on the claim, this is best classified as 'outdated' since the source explicitly documents a period when he was not CEO.
