OpenAI whistleblowers ask SEC to investigate alleged restrictive non-disclosure agreements

OpenAI whistleblowers have filed a complaint with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, calling for an investigation over the artificial intelligence company's allegedly restrictive non-disclosure agreements, according to a letter seen by Reuters.

"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," according to the letter, which was provided to Reuters by the office of Sen. Chuck Grassley.
 

 The complaint asks the SEC to investigate OpenAI's NDAs and requests that the company produce all contracts containing non-disclosure agreements, including employment agreements, severance agreements, and investor agreements, for inspection.
