OpenAI said it parted ways with three people over violations of its policies for accessing and handling sensitive company information. The company said its internal investigation found that they handled sensitive information outside established procedures.
OpenAI’s stated reason for the departures
OpenAI cited violations of its sensitive-information policies as the reason for parting ways with the three people. The company said its investigation found that sensitive information had been handled outside established procedures.
What the external-sharing allegation says
A separate reported allegation says the three shared confidential company information with an external AI-safety organization. The allegation concerns the reported conduct; it is distinct from OpenAI’s stated policy rationale.
The safety-research context
The three people were reported to work on OpenAI’s safety team. Another account said at least two were involved in safety research.
