Three fired OpenAI safety researchers dispute company's misconduct claims
Three former OpenAI safety researchers said their dismissals could deter internal safety work; OpenAI said the firings were not retaliation.
Jasmine Wang, Tomek Korbak and Mikita Balesni published an open letter disputing OpenAI's claims that they mishandled sensitive information and warning that the dismissals could chill safety work.
OpenAI told TechCrunch that the firings followed an investigation into policy violations and were not retaliation for raising safety concerns.
