OpenAI has opened a public disagreement with three of its former safety researchers.
The three researchers – Jasmine Wang, Tomek Korbak and Mikita Balesni – published a letter arguing that their abrupt firing could create uncertainty among remaining employees and undermine the culture that previously allowed researchers to raise safety concerns. "I believe we were fired for prioritising safety over the near-term interests of OpenAI as a corporation," Mr Balesni said in an X post that accompanied the letter.
