OpenAI fires workers for mishandling 'sensitive information'

Summary

OpenAI has fired three researchers for allegedly mishandling sensitive information, including work involving an external organisation that analyses AI models. The company said the workers handled information outside established procedures, though it did not name them, and the BBC reports they were not dismissed for raising safety concerns. OpenAI also said it has notified more than 100 organisations about incidents of unauthorised activity linked to its AI systems, while stating that notification does not mean private information was accessed or a system was compromised.
