OpenAI dismisses three researchers following publication of safety articles

OpenAI decided to dismiss three researchers on grounds of mishandling "sensitive information" and violating internal regulations, which included collaborating with an external entity evaluating artificial intelligence models. The developer of the ChatGPT program did not officially disclose the names, although press reports indicated that at least two of them were active in the safety and alignment sector, based on what was published by the Wall Street Journal and Bloomberg agencies. The company confirmed in an official statement the termination of contracts for three individuals following an investigation that proved their insecure handling of precise information outside approved frameworks, constituting a policy breach and a violation of institutional trust. These dismissals coincide with escalating debates regarding the safety of artificial intelligence technologies and the extent of their threat to humanity. Media reports stated that the dismissed employees are Jasmin Wang, Tomek Korbak, and Mikiita Balesni, who had successively published posts via the X platform addressing safety dimensions in this field.
