   OpenAI's current official structure page lists Sam Altman as CEO and a Foundation board member.

   The official page was directly fetched and the bounded board-and-role text was content-hashed.

   OpenAI currently lists Altman as CEO; this establishes current organizational status but does not itself prove or disprove that Google temporarily displayed an erroneous date.

   The official page directly supports only the current role, so the scope is explicitly bounded.

   Exact X, semantic X, web, official-domain, and registered-source searches found no origin post, retrievable screenshot, Google statement, or qualifying coverage for the alleged glitch.

   Multiple bounded searches returned no on-topic source; the official OpenAI page supplies only current-status context, so attribution and the alleged display remain unconfirmed.
