Whistleblowers have accused OpenAI of imposing illegal restrictions on employees' communication with government regulators, as revealed in a letter obtained by The Washington Post. The letter, addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission Chair, highlights concerns about OpenAI's severance, non-disparagement, and non-disclosure agreements. Allegations include inhibiting employees and investors from reporting securities violations to the SEC, waiving whistleblower rights, and mandating disclosure of communications with regulators. OpenAI has not yet responded to these accusations. Senator Chuck Grassley's office confirmed the letter's existence and emphasized the importance of protecting whistleblowers in monitoring AI threats. This controversy follows previous criticism of OpenAI's exit agreement earlier this year. CEO Sam Altman acknowledged the need for revisions to the company's policies. The situation underscores the ongoing debate surrounding transparency and accountability in the AI industry, particularly concerning whistleblower protection and regulatory compliance.
