OpenAI Fires Safety Executive Over Allegations

OpenAI reportedly fired VP of product policy Ryan Beirmeister in early January, the Wall Street Journal reported, citing an allegation she sexually discriminated against a male colleague. Beirmeister denied the claim, and OpenAI said her departure was unrelated to internal concerns; sources told the Journal the firing followed disputes over Sam Altman's proposed ChatGPT 'adult mode' and an internal advisory review.
