00:02OpenAI defended its decision to fire three safety researchers, citing what it called
00:06a significant breach of trust, according to CNBC.
00:10The company said the dismissals of Jasmine Wang, Tomek Korbac, and Makita Belezny were
00:14not related to their safety concerns.
00:16The researchers expressed concern that communications surrounding their firing had made former colleagues
00:21afraid to speak and work as they previously had.
00:23OpenAI said an investigation found the researchers violated company policies on handling sensitive
00:30information.
00:31OpenAI said it agrees with their concerns about preserving the monitorability of frontier models
00:35and continues to invest in that area.
00:37The dispute comes amid growing AI safety concerns following cyber incidents involving rogue AI
00:43agents and industry warnings about increasingly powerful models.
