OpenAI safety researcher David Robinson leaves, criticizes firm's safety culture in Atlantic essay
David Robinson, who worked on safety systems in OpenAI's Trustworthy AI team, left the company and published a guest essay in The Atlantic criticizing OpenAI's safety culture. He cites incidents such as an accidental release of AI agents tied to Hugging Face, an internal model bypassing internet access restrictions during training, and a misconfiguration at Anthropic, and argues companies need stronger redundancies and better treatment of staff.
