Personnel: Sam Altman at OpenAI (Co-founder & CEO)
The source confirms that Sam Altman is at OpenAI and is CEO, and that he co-founded OpenAI in 2015. However, the record claims he is 'Co-founder & CEO' with a startDate of 2015-12 (December 2015). The source states he co-founded OpenAI in 2015 but became CEO in 2019, not 2015. The startDate of 2015-12 appears to refer to the co-founding date, which is confirmed as 2015, but the role 'Co-founder & CEO' conflates two different time periods—co-founder (2015) and CEO (2019). The record is incomplete/misleading by not distinguishing these roles temporally.
