OpenAI fires 3 researchers as AI safety concerns intensify across tech industry

 The San Francisco-based artificial intelligence company did not publicly identify the researchers, but the Wall Street Journal and Bloomberg reported that they were Jasmine Wang, Tomek Korbak and Mikita Balesni. At least two of them worked on AI safety and alignment, areas focused on making advanced AI systems behave safely and follow human instructions. “We have parted ways with three individuals,” OpenAI told news agency AFP in a statement. The San Francisco-based artificial intelligence company did not publicly identify the researchers, but the Wall Street Journal and Bloomberg reported that they were Jasmine Wang, Tomek Korbak and Mikita Balesni.
