OpenAI says an investigation found the researchers committed a significant breach of trust and that they were fired for violating policies on handling sensitive information, not for raising AI safety concerns. The researchers say they believe they were dismissed for speaking up. OpenAI says its internal probe found additional breaches but provided no details.
