Whistleblowers request SEC probe into alleged OpenAI non-disclosure agreements
India TV NewsOpenAI whistleblowers have complained to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, urging an investigation into the artificial intelligence company's allegedly restrictive non-disclosure agreements, according to a letter obtained by Reuters. According to the letter, which was provided to Reuters by the office of Sen. Chuck Grassley it was stated: "Given the well-documented potential risks posed by the irresponsible deployment of AI, we urge the Commissioners to immediately approve an investigation into OpenAI’s prior NDAs, and to review current efforts apparently being undertaken by the company to ensure full compliance with SEC rules." The whistleblowers alleged that OpenAI issued overly restrictive employment, severance and non-disclosure agreements to its employees, which could have led to penalties against workers who raised concerns about OpenAI to federal authorities. The letter also asked the SEC to require OpenAI to produce every contract that contained a non-disclosure agreement, including employment agreements, severance agreements and investor agreements for inspection.
