OpenAI Fires Safety Researchers

It's been Zynga, bringing Wall Street to Main Street. OpenAI fired three researchers for alleged misconduct involving the handling of confidential company information, according to the Wall Street Journal. The company said Jasmine Wang, Tomek Korbak, and Makeda Belesnyi violated policies governing access to and handling of sensitive information. Korbak worked on OpenAI's safety team and served as a technical contact for the Hugging Face investigation, while Wang and Belesnyi worked on model alignment. OpenAI is investigating recent AI agent security incidents and scrapped the planned launch of GPT-6.1 Astra over safety concerns. The company has also introduced a new monitoring system, strengthened security guardrails for testing, and increased information sharing about instances of model misbehavior.
