OpenAI defends firing of 3 AI safety researchers, cites ‘significant breach of trust’
OpenAI fired three AI safety researchers, citing a 'significant breach of trust.' The researchers, Mikita Balesni, Tomek Korbak, and Jasmine Wang, raised concerns that their dismissals could hinder safety discussions. Korbak claimed he was fired for his communication with the safety organization METR, which investigated a security incident. The firings may impact future collaborations on AI safety.
