OpenAI fired three safety researchers for mishandling sensitive information, after security officers found they had turned on disappearing messages in their Signal chats. The researchers had been pushing to make how AI systems work more visible and open to outside scrutiny.
- Security officers reviewed the researchers' phones and found disappearing messages enabled on Signal chats with a contact.
- A week after the phone check, the three were called into simultaneous 2 p.m. meetings and fired.
- The researchers were known for fighting to keep AI systems' inner workings visible and to let outsiders examine them.
