OpenAI whistleblowers have filed a complaint with the Securities and Exchange Commission alleging the company illegally barred employees from warning regulators about grave risks its technology may pose to humanity, and are calling for an investigation. According to the article, the complaint was described in a letter exclusively obtained by The Washington Post, which says the whistleblowers asked the SEC to probe the company's allegedly restrictive nondisclosure agreements. The article includes a photo of OpenAI CEO Sam Altman speaking with reporters on Capitol Hill, but it gives no further details beyond the complaint itself.

“The whistleblowers said OpenAI issued its employees overly restrictive employment, severance and nondisclosure agreements that could have led to penalties against workers who raised concerns about OpenAI to federal regulators, according to a seven-page letter sent to the SEC commissioner earlier this month that referred to the formal complaint. The letter was obtained exclusively by The Washington Post.”
