A letter from OpenAI whistleblowers to the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) alleges that the ChatGPT-maker's use of non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) restricts them from sharing safety concerns with federal regulators.
The letter, which was provided to news organizations by the office of Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), claims that OpenAI had hires waive their rights to federal whistleblower compensation and that they required company consent to speak to regulators, with no exceptions for SEC violations.
