OpenAI whistleblowers have filed a complaint with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), alleging that the company illegally prohibited its employees from warning regulators about the potential risks posed by its artificial intelligence technology. The complaint claims that OpenAI's restrictive non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) effectively silenced workers from airing their concerns. The whistleblowers are calling for the SEC to probe these employee agreements to ensure compliance with legal standards. The Washington Post reported on these allegations.
