OpenAI fires three safety staff amid reports of other departures
OpenAI fired three safety-related staff over alleged sensitive-information policy violations; other departures were reported, but a shared cause has not been established.
OpenAI dismissed three safety-related employees: Jasmine Wang, Mikita Balesni and Tomek Korbak. The company said an investigation found that its policies on accessing and handling sensitive information had been violated.
Reports of other safety-related departures, including David Robinson, surfaced around the same period. The timing alone does not establish that those exits arose from the same investigation or had the same cause.
The available information does not justify assigning a definitive motive or drawing broad conclusions about all of OpenAI’s safety work.
