OpenAI reaches $3.2 million settlement with DOJ over claims it discriminated against US workers
OpenAI disputes the Justice Department's view, but said it wanted to move forward with a program to support employees "requiring immigration support."
The Justice Department has reached a $3.2 million settlement with OpenAI and its subsidiary Statsig, alleging the companies discriminated against U.S. workers by favoring temporary visa holders during hiring processes. Despite disagreeing with the findings, OpenAI accepted the settlement to advance its PERM program, which aids workers requiring immigration support. The settlement includes $1.2 million in civil penalties and a $2 million fund to compensate victims of the discriminatory practices.
