[OpenAI Responds to Departure of Security Researchers: Due to Sensitive Information Violations, Not Suppression of Safety Concerns] Deep Tide TechFlow reports that on October 9, OpenAI's head of research stated that the company has ended its collaboration with three security researchers—Jasmine, Mikita, and Tomek—following the completion of an internal investigation. The reason cited was their violation of policies related to handling sensitive information. OpenAI noted that the issues uncovered during the investigation went beyond what the three disclosed in their open letter, leading to the decision to terminate their employment. The company emphasized that this action was not taken because the three raised concerns about AI safety or expressed differing opinions, as internal safety discussions and research debates have always been a routine part of daily work. Regarding the external oversight issues raised in the open letter, OpenAI stated that it is advancing its collaboration with third-party security assessment organizations and will release further details in the coming weeks. The company affirmed that ensuring the controllability of cutting-edge models requires a collective commitment from the entire industry, and controllability has long been a core focus of its research agenda.
