A group of whistleblowers took their concerns about OpenAI to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). They claimed the company illegally prevented employees from reporting safety issues. According to the complaint, OpenAI's severance and confidentiality agreements contain clauses that could penalize employees for giving information to federal regulators.
Violation of Federal Whistleblower Protection Laws
Whistleblowers argue that OpenAI's dealings violate federal laws designed to protect people who report corporate fraud and corruption anonymously and without fear of retaliation. They argue that those agreements forced employees to waive whistleblower awards and required them to get permission from the company before reporting to federal authorities.
AI Security and OpenAI's Transparency Issues
This controversy comes amid growing concerns about AI security and the transparency of OpenAI's operations. Critics charge that the company has strayed from an initial nonprofit mission focused on the public good and turned to profit-oriented goals. Concerns have been raised about the hasty release of new AI models without inadequate safety testing. These concerns include serious consequences, such as the development of biological weapons or cyber threats.
OpenAI's Response to the Accusations
In response to the accusations, OpenAI spokesperson Hannah Wong said, “Our whistleblower policy allows employees to make protected reports, and we believe a serious discussion about this technology is necessary; That's why we've adjusted our severance policies and removed any disparagement clauses,” he said. This statement indicates that OpenAI is reviewing and making changes to its internal policies in response to growing concerns.
Statements by Senator Chuck Grassley
US Senator Chuck Grassley emphasized the importance of protecting whistleblowers in his statements on the subject. “Noting that whistleblowers play a critical role in helping the federal government mitigate AI-related risks, OpenAI’s policies and practices appear to discourage whistleblowers from reporting and receiving appropriate compensation for protected disclosures,” Grassley said.
Statements by CEO Sam Altman
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman clarified details about severance agreements amid scrutiny. Altman acknowledged that a clause in earlier severance documents regarding potential stock revocation was an error and confirmed that the clause was never implemented. He reiterated his commitment to ensuring that employees' vested shares are safe even if they leave their jobs.
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY FOR THE GIFT OF 10 DOLLARS.
My friends, you know that we, the publishers, are doing everything we can for you here. We are informing you about the services and facilities offered to us by our authorities. I have never stopped supporting both the Cryptocurrency market and you as much as I could, and on the contrary, I am trying to provide more support.
THIS 10 DOLLAR GIFT CAMPAIGN IS A CAMPAIGN MADE SPECIALLY FOR ME BY BINACE. YOU CAN GET THE CONFIRMATION I SAID ABOUT THIS BY CONTACTING LIVE HELP. THIS IS A 10 DOLLAR CAMPAIGN MADE TO YOU THROUGH ME.
Now I will tell you how to receive your gift. First of all, Binance users who have registered with someone's reference and actively use futures transactions will unfortunately not be able to benefit from this promotion.
So who will benefit?
Our friends who have not activated the futures section yet, while activating your FUTURES trading section, you will earn 10 dollars when you open it by entering my reference code 88623008.
I EXPLAIN IN DETAIL.
My brothers and sisters who have become a Binance member without reference, please listen carefully;
When you do what I say, you will receive 10 USDT.
Enter the Futures Section from your application,
On the next screen, open your account by entering the code 88623008 in the REFERENCE CODE section,
My brothers and sisters who want to complete this transaction and receive the 10 USDT reward by MAY 1 can do so. After activating your account, all you have to do is open your first futures transaction.
The first 1,000 brothers to open a 200 USDT transaction by MAY 1 will receive a 10 USDT reward.
So let me give you a tactic like this: Even if you open and close 20x with a $5 transaction, you will be entitled to the reward.
However, even if you do this after May 1, your reward will not come. So get it done by May 1st. In fact, right now I say you can fix it in 5 seconds.
Very simple. Go to Futures, enter my reference code 88623008 and activate the account. Afterwards, just open a total of 200 USDT transactions and get 10 USDT reward.
WHEN WILL THE AWARD COME?
Your 10 dollar reward will arrive in the REWARDS section of your Binance application within 30 days, starting from May 1st. By activating it from there, you can use your reward of 10 dollars, or more than 300 liras, in futures transactions.
