00:02OpenAI fired three safety researchers following an internal investigation
00:06into suspected leaks of confidential information about its AI model designs,
00:11the Wall Street Journal reported. The company said Tomek Korbach, Mikita Belezny,
00:17and Jasmine Wang violated policies for handling sensitive information.
00:21The researchers denied sharing confidential information and disputed the company's
00:26explanation for their dismissals. They said they had raised concerns about AI designs that could
00:32make models harder to monitor and had advocated greater collaboration with independent safety
00:37organizations. OpenAI said it fired the three researchers for violating policies on handling
00:43sensitive information, not for raising safety concerns or speaking out. The researchers warned
00:49that their dismissals could discourage employees from raising concerns or communicating with outside
00:54safety researchers. For all things money, visit Benzinga.com.
