OpenAI whistleblowers ask SEC to investigate restrictive non-disclosure agreements, Washington Post reports
==========

OpenAI whistleblowers have filed a complaint with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) over the company's allegedly restrictive non-disclosure agreements. The whistleblowers claim that OpenAI issued overly restrictive employment, severance, and non-disclosure agreements that could penalize workers who raised concerns about OpenAI to federal authorities. The agreements required employees to waive their federal rights to whistleblower compensation and obtain prior consent from the company to disclose information to federal regulators. OpenAI did not create exemptions in the employee nondisparagement clauses for disclosing securities violations to the SEC. The SEC has not commented on the existence of the whistleblower submission. OpenAI has not responded to requests for comment.
