OpenAI parted ways with three safety researchers. An internal investigation found they mishandled sensitive company information. They allegedly shared confidential data with a third-party AI safety organization. OpenAI stated the actions violated its policies and broke trust. The report did not name the researchers, the organization, or the information involved. The departures follow recent reports of OpenAI dismissing employee safety concerns. They also follow a series of security incidents involving OpenAI agents. OpenAI previously scrapped a model launch over safety concerns. OpenAI has dismissed researchers over alleged leaks before.
What changed
The three researchers were employed by OpenAI.
