Start with a question about safety, governance, or transparency. These guides explain the topic and connect you to individual departure records and their sources.
In May 2024, Jan Leike explained why he had left OpenAI. He had been at odds with its leaders over the company’s priorities for some time. Safety culture and processes, he wrote, had “taken a backseat to shiny products.”
When Gretchen Krueger announced her resignation from OpenAI in May 2024, she named some basic things she wanted to see improve: how decisions were made, how policies were enforced, and how people were held accountable.
In October 2024, Miles Brundage announced that he was leaving OpenAI in part to gain more freedom to publish. He thought some restrictions were reasonable inside a company, but said they had become too limiting for the work he wanted to do.
A concern tag organizes records; it does not establish a person's motive. Each guide separates evidence-linked departures from unresolved allegations. One person can appear under more than one concern.
