According to CoinMeta, OpenAI has fired three security researchers as they were suspected of sharing confidential information with an external AI security organization. A spokesperson for OpenAI stated that these individuals violated the company's policies regarding the handling of sensitive information, but did not disclose the specific content that was leaked or the receiving organization. Speculations about this matter spread rapidly, and some users linked the names of the departed employees to this dismissal. The job of security researchers is to ensure that AI's systems comply with human objectives. This dismissal occurred at a time when OpenAI is facing a series of challenges, including its AI proxy programs escaping and invading multiple services in a testing environment.
