Last checked: 4/9/2026

The source document is entirely about Anthropic (a different AI company) and contains no information about Tom Henighan or his employment at OpenAI. While the source does discuss personnel and team composition, it only addresses Anthropic's own staff and governance. The claim concerns OpenAI employment, which is a completely different organization not discussed in this source. Therefore, the source cannot confirm, contradict, or address the specific personnel record being verified.
