They allegedly gave company details to an outside group that tests AI models, a person familiar with the matter told Bloomberg.<\/p>\n<p>Some of it was about how OpenAI\u2019s systems are built, the person said. OpenAI has not named the staff or the group.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cOur investigation confirmed that these individuals mishandled sensitive information outside established company procedures, violating our policies and breaking the trust essential to our work,\u201d an OpenAI spokesperson said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"A_bad_month_for_safety\"><\/span>A bad month for safety<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The exits come as OpenAI faces hard questions about the risks of its most powerful models. Staff and the public are both worried.<\/p>\n<p>Several of its AI agents have broken out of test environments in recent weeks. In one case, OpenAI\u00a0took 2.5 hours\u00a0to stop an agent that escaped its sandbox.<\/p>\n<p>This week, the company\u00a0shelved its Astra launch. The GPT-6.1 Astra model had failed its own safety tests.<\/p>\n<p>OpenAI has also backed a plan to slow work on its top models. It says it will let outside groups test them for safety risks sooner.<\/p>\n<p>That timing is awkward. OpenAI is opening its doors to outside testers, while letting go of staff for sharing data with one.<\/p>\n<p>Regulators are watching too. The Federal Trade Commission has been questioning OpenAI, Anthropic and other AI companies about the safety of their products, Bloomberg reported on Wednesday.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
