The artificial intelligence (AI) company OpenAI is facing allegations of using illegal non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) to silence employees from sharing safety concerns and other issues with federal authorities. Representatives of anonymous whistleblowers have filed a formal complaint with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), claiming that OpenAI’s NDAs were excessively restrictive and against the law.
In response to the complaint, OpenAI has stated that it has made changes to its policies to protect employees’ rights to make protected disclosures. The SEC’s decision on whether to investigate OpenAI could have significant implications for the company and the broader AI industry, as regulators and companies strive to balance employee rights with fostering innovation in AI technology.
Meanwhile, OpenAI has announced a collaboration with Los Alamos National Laboratory to explore the potential of AI in bioscience research. Stay tuned for updates on this developing story.
