Some employees of ChatGPT-maker OpenAI have reportedly written to the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) seeking a probe into some employee agreements, which they term restrictive non-disclosure agreements (NDAs).
These staffers-turned-whistleblowers have written to the SEC alleging that the company forced their employees to sign agreements that were not in compliance with SEC’s regulations.
“Given the well-documented potential risks posed by the irresponsible deployment of AI, we urge the commissioners to immediately approve an investigation into OpenAI’s prior NDAs, and to review current efforts apparently being undertaken by the company to ensure full compliance with SEC rules,” read the letter shared with Reuters by the office of Senator Chuck Grassley.
