OpenAI's security team continues to be hit by turmoil! The head has left, and three employees were fired for leaking secrets.

What happened: David Robinson, who led the safety transparency function inside OpenAI's Safety Systems team, has left the company. OpenAI has not named a successor, and Robinson has not publicly stated a reason. Why it matters: The departures add to a run of turnover in OpenAI's safety ranks. Robinson had publicly discussed risks from highly capable AI and urged staff to use internal influence to push the company to address them more seriously.
