OpenAI to Pay $3.2 Million in U.S. Settlement Over Hiring Practices
OpenAI and its subsidiary Statsig will pay $3.2 million to settle U.S. Justice Department claims that they favored foreign workers with temporary visas and discriminated against U.S. applicants. The department said the companies discouraged U.S. workers by requiring paper applications, advertising jobs late at night, and not posting openings externally. OpenAI denied wrongdoing. The settlement follows similar cases involving tech firms. Efforts to limit foreign worker hiring, including a proposed visa fee, face legal challenges.
