Headline: UNCAPTIONED: OpenAI Agrees to $3.2 Million U.S. Hiring Settlement
Caption: OpenAI Agrees to $3.2 Million U.S. Hiring Settlement. OpenAI will pay $3.2 million to settle U.S. claims involving alleged discrimination against American job applicants during hiring. The Justice Department said OpenAI and software company Statsig favored certain foreign workers holding temporary employment visas. Officials alleged the companies discouraged U.S. applicants through restrictive application methods and limited public advertising of vacancies. OpenAI denied any wrongdoing but agreed to resolve the investigation through the settlement with federal authorities. The agreement includes $1.2 million in penalties and $2 million to compensate affected American job applicants. Federal officials said fewer than ten positions were involved, but the alleged practices caused significant harm to workers. OpenAI also agreed to revise hiring policies, provide compliance training, and undergo Justice Department monitoring going forward. The case comes as President Donald Trump continues pushing stricter rules governing temporary foreign worker visa programs.
