OpenAI employees are using their own money to oppose a political organization supported by one of the company's most senior executives, bringing the technology industry's dispute over artificial intelligence regulation inside the maker of ChatGPT.
Seven current OpenAI employees and one former worker have donated more than $215,000 to Guardrails Alliance, a super PAC supporting stricter rules for companies developing advanced AI systems, WIRED reported. The organization is campaigning as a counterweight to Leading the Future, a political network backed by OpenAI president and cofounder Greg Brockman.
