  • 在举报人向美国证券交易委员会(SEC)投诉OpenAI据称限制性的保密协议(NDA)后,该公司正受到审查。
  • OpenAI对此事保持沉默,这加剧了人们对OpenAI乃至整个人工智能行业安全和伦理影响的担忧。

我们的观点
OpenAI没有立即回应针对该信件寻求置评的请求。其所谓的沉默暴露出一种令人不安的虚伪,可能削弱公众对一个本应建立在信任与伦理之上的行业的信赖。SEC必须果断行动。如果人工智能是未来,它必须保持透明并接受公众监督。

发生了什么

OpenAI正面临审查,此前举报人向美国证券交易委员会(SEC)投诉该公司据称限制性的保密协议(NDA)。根据路透社看到的一封信,举报人呼吁对OpenAI过去和现在的保密协议进行调查,声称这些协议迫使员工放弃他们获得举报人赔偿的联邦权利。

这封信由参议员查克·格拉斯利的办公室提供,敦促SEC委员立即批准对OpenAI的保密协议展开调查,并审查该公司目前的合规努力。举报人声称,OpenAI的雇佣、离职和保密协议过于严格,可能会惩罚那些向联邦当局提出公司问题的员工。他们还要求SEC对每份不当协议对OpenAI处以罚款。 另见: Ofcom 揭露英国铁路移动覆盖差距.

举报人透露,OpenAI要求员工在向联邦监管机构披露信息前必须获得公司的预先同意。此外,该公司据称未在其不贬损条款中设立例外,允许向SEC报告证券违规行为。信中还要求SEC强制OpenAI交出所有包含保密协议的合同,包括雇佣、离职和投资者协议,以供检查。 另见: 欧盟重写人工智能基础设施主权规则.

为何重要

这起投诉正值人们对OpenAI生成式人工智能模型的安全和伦理影响日益担忧之际,这些模型能够进行类似人类的对话并根据文字提示生成图像。为回应这些担忧,OpenAI于五月成立了一个安全与安保委员会,由包括首席执行官山姆·阿尔特曼在内的董事会成员领导,负责监督其下一个AI模型的训练。 另见: 欧盟限制美国卫星运营商接入频谱.

参议员格拉斯利对此事发表了评论,强调了人工智能对技术的重大影响以及保护举报人权利的重要性。他指出,OpenAI的政策可能压制员工发声和因披露信息而获得应有赔偿的权利。 另见: FCC 要求美国海底电缆登陆须获许可.

这项调查凸显了保护企业利益与确保员工报告不道德行为权利之间的紧张关系。如果SEC认定OpenAI的保密协议违反联邦法律,可能导致巨额罚款,并促使科技公司重新评估其保密协议的起草方式,这表明在快速发展的AI行业中,创新与伦理实践之间需要关键的平衡。 另见: 美国封堵海外AI芯片采购漏洞.
