OpenAI, a pioneer in the technology and artificial intelligence sector, has recently been the focus of criticism due to working conditions. According to allegations revealed by The Washington Post, the company prevents its employees from talking to government officials through illegal agreements. There are also sources claiming that there is more going on inside the company.
OpenAI Employees Forced to Waive Some Rights
Details of the allegations revealed that some of the company’s employees had to waive various financial rights, including severance pay, according to a letter sent to Gary Gensler, Chairman of the US Securities and Exchange Commission. OpenAI has not yet made an official statement on the matter. This situation has also mobilized American politics. In particular, Senator Chuck Grassley condemned the company’s actions and stated that the government needs to prevent such behaviors. This incident causes the ethical and legal standards of the artificial intelligence sector to be questioned and brings up the need for transparency in the industry once again.
