OpenAI fires three workers over mishandling'sensitive information' OpenAI has fired three researchers for allegedly mishandling information, including work that involved an external organisation that analyses artificial intelligence (AI) models. Our investigation confirmed that these individuals mishandled sensitive information outside established company procedures, violating our policies and breaking the trust essential to our work, a spokesperson told the BBC. The ChatGPT-maker did not name the sacked workers, but at least two of them were involved in safety research at the firm. The firings come as the debate over AI safety and the risks the technology may pose to humanity has intensified in recent weeks. We have parted ways with three individuals for violating our policies on accessing and handling sensitive company information, OpenAI's spokesperson said.
