OpenAI fires three safety researchers after reviewing their Signal chats
OpenAI fired three AI safety researchers —Tomek Korbak, Mikita Balesni and Jasmine Wang— after an internal investigation concluded they violated policies on sensitive information, according to the company. The security team asked them to unlock their phones and found disappearing messages on Signal in conversations with an outside researcher. The dismissed researchers deny sharing confidential information and dispute the company's account. OpenAI says the dismissals were not over their safety criticism.
