OpenAI parts with three researchers over information handling
OpenAI said on Oct. 1, 2026 that it had parted ways with three employees after an investigation found they mishandled sensitive company information outside established procedures. A spokesperson gave that account to CBS News, the BBC and The Wall Street Journal; the company did not name the workers or the information. The Journal reported they were safety-team researchers who allegedly shared confidential information with a third-party AI-safety organization, which OpenAI has not identified.
