Golden Financial reports that on May 12th, according to The Wall Street Journal, as OpenAI prepares to launch its initial public offering (IPO), the personal investment activities of its CEO, Sam Altman, are coming under increasing scrutiny from American Republicans. The House Oversight Committee has launched an investigation into potential conflicts of interest, and several Republican state attorneys general have also called for the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to review the matter. This series of actions stems from a report in April. The report stated that Altman had pushed for OpenAI to support companies in which he had personal investments. At the same time, this also echoes a lawsuit filed by Elon Musk. In the lawsuit, Musk accused Altman and OpenAI of inducing him to invest tens of millions of dollars to jointly establish a nonprofit-like OpenAI, only to later turn this AI laboratory into a for-profit enterprise. According to documents published on the official website of the U.S. House Oversight Committee on Monday, the committee sent a letter to Altman last Friday requesting that OpenAI executives explain the potential conflicts of interest and submit relevant documents regarding the company’s governance practices.
