After discovering 'listening' devices in OpenAI's executive meeting room, insiders said employees had been reporting security vulnerabilities for years

After OpenAI discovered recording devices in its executive meeting room, insiders said employees had been reporting security vulnerabilities since the end of 2022 before ChatGPT was launched, believing management was more focused on catching up with competitors. Employees pointed out that OpenAI's security management was lax, making it easy for outsiders to access sensitive information, and that code access permissions could view details of many projects. OpenAI has adjusted its strategy, led by Théo Sotiropoulos, to strengthen defenses, but increased security measures may impact research and development speed.
