Kelli is on vacation but Nolan is here with a segment breaking down what is happening with the very-human problems over at OpenAI and the three developing stories.
* The departure of Ilya Sutskever, co-founder and chief scientist, along with Jan Lieke
* The journalistic investigation by Vox's Kelsey Piper, who unveiled OpenAI's practice of requiring departing employees to sign life-long non-disclosure and non-disparagement agreements, threatening the loss of vested equity for breach
* The incident involving Scarlett Johansson being approached to voice OpenAI’s AI, without her consent, raising questions about ethical use of voice likeness in AI technologies.
This segment concludes by reflecting on the lessons these stories hold for HR leaders and company founders, essentially advocating for ethical leadership, transparency, and respect for individual rights.
