OpenAI responds to the dismissal of three safety researchers: due to violations of sensitive information handling policies, unrelated to raising safety concerns OpenAI's head of research stated in a post that last week, Jasmine Wang, Mikita Balesni, and Tomek Korbak were terminated following an internal investigation that found the three had violated sensitive information handling policies, with actions involving 'serious breaches of trust beyond what was stated in their open letter.' OpenAI emphasized that this decision was 'unrelated to raising safety concerns or speaking out publicly.' Previously, the three had published an open letter claiming they were dismissed for 'prioritizing safety over the company's short-term interests.'
