OpenAI Fires 3 Researchers Over Sensitive Information Handling

OpenAI has dismissed three researchers after an internal investigation found they mishandled sensitive company information.

OpenAI has not named the employees or disclosed what information was involved, while The Wall Street Journal reported that they were Jasmine Wang, Tomek Korbak and Mikita Balesni.

The Journal said the information was allegedly shared with an outside AI safety research organization, which OpenAI has not identified.

OpenAI says the dismissals were for violating company policies, with no public evidence that their AI safety views caused the departures.
