OpenAI doubles down on decision to fire three AI safety researchers

Summary

OpenAI says it fired three safety researchers, Jasmine Wang, Tomek Korbak and Mikita Balesni, for violating "clear policies on handling sensitive information" after an investigation found "a significant breach of trust." The company, in a post on X, denied the dismissal was related to the researchers speaking out about AI safety concerns, a response to an open letter they published urging greater transparency.
