OpenAI has fired safety researchers in the United States after an internal investigation into sensitive data handling.

The company dismissed three staff members after the internal review of the data-handling claims.

Internal compliance teams flagged what they called the unauthorized transmission of restricted documents.

The actions are described as a direct violation of employee conduct agreements.

A Wall Street Journal headline in the article says the researchers were accused of sharing information with an AI safety group.

Leadership told financial outlets that protecting confidential company information is a priority.

The piece says the dismissals raise questions about internal dissent and how governance rules will change.
