Whistleblowers Urge SEC to Investigate OpenAI's Restrictive NDAs

Former employees allege the AI company's agreements hindered them from reporting safety concerns to regulators.

Whistleblowers filed a complaint with the SEC, claiming OpenAI's NDAs violated federal laws protecting whistleblowers.
The agreements allegedly required employees to waive their rights to whistleblower compensation and get company consent before contacting regulators.
OpenAI has stated that it has made changes to its policies to protect employees' rights to make disclosures.
The SEC has received the complaint but has not confirmed whether it will launch an investigation.
Concerns about AI safety and ethical practices are at the center of the whistleblowers' allegations.
