OpenAI doubles down on decision to fire three AI safety researchers
OpenAI 在 X 发文坚持解雇 Jasmine Wang、Tomek Korbak 和 Mikita Balesni 三名安全研究人员,称内部调查发现他们违反了处理敏感信息的明确政策,构成重大信任违规。此声明是对三人周四发布公开信要求提高透明度的直接回应,三人在信中称自己因提出安全担忧而被解雇;OpenAI 表示调查发现的问题超出公开信所述,但未提供细节。

OpenAI is standing firm on its decision to fire three safety researchers after an investigation found they committed “a significant breach of trust.”
In a post on X on Friday, the company said Jasmine Wang, Tomek Korbak and Mikita Balesni were dismissed for violating “clear policies on handling sensitive information.” It insisted the decision was not about the trio speaking out about the company and their concerns about AI safety.
The post is a direct response to an open letter the researchers published on Thursday urging OpenAI to be more transparent about the decision. In it and a series of social media posts, the group said they believed they were fired for raising safety concerns and had “acted in line with OpenAI’s mission and within the working norms of the time.”
OpenAI said an internal investigation uncovered breaches “beyond what’s outlined in the letter,” but did not provide details.
The safety of frontier systems has become an increasing concern for staff inside AI companies following a series of high profile breaches this year, most notably OpenAI’s hack of Hugging Face. Many staff are now calling for companies to slow down and do more to guard against the potential consequences of building self-improving systems.
