“On May 6, 2026, Mira Murati testified under oath that Sam Altman falsely claimed that OpenAI's legal department had approved skipping internal safety procedures for a new OpenAI artificial-intelligence model.”
Reporting indicates that on May 6, 2026, Mira Murati gave sworn testimony saying Sam Altman told her OpenAI’s legal team had approved bypassing an internal safety review for a new model, and that this was untrue. The strongest support comes from Forbes, with several other outlets in broad agreement. The key caveat is that this is reported deposition testimony in litigation, not a court finding that Altman lied.
“Five major tech companies, including Anthropic, OpenAI, and Microsoft, have launched AI chatbots specifically for consumer health support in 2026.”
The specific claim that five major tech companies launched consumer health chatbots in 2026 is not supported by the evidence. Multiple credible sources confirm dedicated health AI products from only three companies: Anthropic (Claude for Healthcare), OpenAI (ChatGPT Health), and Microsoft (Copilot Health). A possible fourth (Amazon) is weakly documented by a single source describing a different type of tool, and no fifth company launch is substantiated. The numerical assertion — the claim's defining element — is unverified.
“OpenAI shut down its Sora text-to-video AI platform in March 2026.”
Multiple major news outlets — CBS News, San Francisco Chronicle, NPR, TechCrunch, and others — confirm that OpenAI announced the discontinuation of its Sora consumer app and API in March 2026, quoting official OpenAI statements. The claim is substantially accurate. However, it slightly overstates scope: the shutdown targeted the standalone Sora app and API specifically, while the underlying video-generation model may remain accessible through other OpenAI products like ChatGPT Plus. The shutdown was also announced as a phaseout rather than an instantaneous cutoff.
