Following the morning news about a new investigation into OpenAI’s secrets, it has become known that the company has begun downsizing its risk management division. This team is responsible for preventing information leaks, combating data theft, monitoring model weight disclosures, and handling other internal and external threats.
Interestingly, OpenAI has now decided to radically restructure the work of this department. Instead of simply hiring new specialists, they are firing current employees and replacing them with new personnel. They explain this by stating that as the company grows, new levels of risks and challenges have emerged that were not present before. This indicates that the situation requires a completely different approach to information security.
