The U.S. Department of Justice has reached a settlement with OpenAI to resolve allegations that the artificial intelligence company discriminated against American workers. The claims centered on the company's hiring practices, which the department said violated federal anti-discrimination laws.
OpenAI, the developer of the ChatGPT chatbot, agreed to the settlement without admitting liability. The terms of the agreement were not disclosed, but such settlements typically require changes to hiring procedures and may include monetary penalties.
The case highlights ongoing federal scrutiny of tech companies' employment practices, particularly regarding the treatment of U.S. workers versus foreign talent. The Justice Department has pursued similar actions against other firms in recent years.
