Fired OpenAI employees question the company's commitment to safety
Page 5/10

The former employees have disputed OpenAI's explanation of their firings. None of them responded to NPR's interview requests.

"In the exit call, I was told OpenAI no longer trusts me because I was speaking too much to third party safety organizations, implying I leaked company [intellectual property]. I never shared company IP," Balesni wrote on X on Thursday. He said he was involved in investigating the OpenAI agents' hack on Hugging Face.

"If OpenAI has specific concerns, I invite them to write to us directly. I expect they will not, because our firing was pretextual," Balesni continued.
