partial95% confidence

1 evidence check

Last checked: 4/4/2026

The record claims Sam Altman is 'Co-founder & CEO' with a start date of 2015-12. The source confirms he co-founded OpenAI in 2015 and is currently CEO. However, the source does not specify the month (December) of the co-founding in 2015—it only states the year. The role is partially confirmed (co-founder status is confirmed, CEO status is confirmed), but the specific start date of 2015-12 cannot be verified from this source, which only provides year-level precision. The claim conflates two different dates: co-founding (2015) and becoming CEO (2019).
