OpenAI 坚持解雇三名安全研究员：定性为违反保密政策而非打压 AI 安全异议
OpenAI 正式确认维持对 Jasmine Wang 等三名 AI 安全研究员的解雇决定，强调此举源于其违反敏感信息处理政策的“严重失信行为”，而非针对其公开表达的安全担忧。公司通过官方声明回应了此前引发争议的内部信与公开信事件，试图将焦点从“压制异见”转向“合规违规”。这一强硬立场凸显了头部实验室在内部治理、保密协议与外部透明度之间的剧烈张力。

OpenAI is standing firm on its decision to fire three safety researchers after an investigation found they committed “a significant breach of trust.”
In a post on X on Friday, the company said Jasmine Wang, Tomek Korbak and Mikita Balesni were dismissed for violating “clear policies on handling sensitive information.” It insisted the decision was not about the trio speaking out about the company and their concerns about AI safety.
The post is a direct response to an open letter the researchers published on Thursday urging OpenAI to be more transparent about the decision. In it and a series of social media posts, the group said they believed they were fired for raising safety concerns and had “acted in line with OpenAI’s mission and within the working norms of the time.”
OpenAI said an internal investigation uncovered breaches “beyond what’s outlined in the letter,” but did not provide details.
The safety of frontier systems has become an increasing concern for staff inside AI companies following a series of high profile breaches this year, most notably OpenAI’s hack of Hugging Face. Many staff are now calling for companies to slow down and do more to guard against the potential consequences of building self-improving systems.
