OpenAI cuts ties with 3 safety researchers, WSJ reports
What happened
The Wall Street Journal reports that OpenAI separated from three members of its safety team over allegations that they violated company policy by sharing sensitive company information with a third-party AI safety organization. An OpenAI spokesperson said an internal investigation confirmed they handled sensitive information outside established company processes, violated policy, and undermined trust. The report did not identify the researchers, the organization, or the information involved. The news came two days after The New York Times reported that OpenAI executives had ignored employees' warnings about its safety practices.
