据路透社报道,OpenAI的一名举报人已向美国证券交易委员会提出投诉,要求对该人工智能公司涉嫌设定的限制性保密协议进行调查。
According to Reuters, a whistleblower from OpenAI has filed a complaint with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), calling for an investigation into the AI company's allegedly restrictive confidentiality agreements.
路透社通过美国参议员查克·格拉斯利的办公室而掌握的信件内容称,"鉴于对人工智能进行不负责任的部署所可能造成的潜在风险,我们敦促委员们立即批准对OpenAI之前的保密协议开展调查,并审查该公司当前的努力——该公司似乎在尽一切努力以确保其完全遵守美国证券交易委员会的规定。"
The letter, obtained by Reuters through the office of U.S. Senator Chuck Grassley, states, "Given the potential risks posed by the irresponsible deployment of artificial intelligence, we urge the Commissioners to immediately approve an investigation into OpenAI's previous confidentiality agreements and review the company's current efforts — which appear to be an all-out effort to ensure full compliance with SEC rules."
这封信称,这家人工智能公司要求员工签署严格的协议,以要求他们在举报公司违规行为时放弃自己获得联邦赔偿的权利。
The letter alleges that the AI company requires employees to sign strict agreements that demand they waive their rights to federal compensation when reporting company misconduct.
违规行为举报人要求美国证券交易委员会在其认为恰当的范围内,对OpenAI公司达成的每一项不当协议处以罚款。
The whistleblower is requesting that the SEC impose fines on OpenAI for each improper agreement reached, to the extent the commission deems appropriate.
美国证券交易委员会发言人在致路透社的电子邮件声明中表示,它不会对是否存在潜在的举报请求发表评论。
An SEC spokesperson stated in an email to Reuters that they would not comment on the existence or non-existence of a potential whistleblower submission.
格拉斯利告诉路透社,"正如我们看到的那样,人工智能正在迅速而大幅地改变当前的技术格局",他还补充道,"OpenAI的政策和做法似乎对举报人披露违规行为的权利及其获得赔偿的权利产生了寒蝉效应。"
Grassley told Reuters, "As we've seen, AI is rapidly and dramatically altering the current technological landscape," adding, "OpenAI's policies and practices appear to have a chilling effect on whistleblowers' rights to disclose wrongdoing and their rights to compensation."
举报人声称,OpenAI向其员工发布了严格的雇佣协议,其中包括终止服务合同和保密条款,而这可能会导致那些向联邦当局提出对OpenAI的担忧的员工受到制裁。
The whistleblower claims that OpenAI has issued strict employment agreements to its employees, including termination of service contracts and confidentiality clauses, which could lead to sanctions against employees who raise concerns about OpenAI to federal authorities.
这封信还表示,OpenAI要求其员工在向联邦监管机构披露相关信息的时候必须事先获得公司的同意。
The letter also states that OpenAI requires its employees to obtain prior consent from the company when disclosing information to federal regulators.
信上还要求美国证券交易委员会向OpenAI公司索要包含保密协议的每份合同以供检查,包括雇佣协议、遣散协议和投资者协议。
The letter further requests that the SEC demand from OpenAI every contract containing confidentiality agreements for inspection, including employment agreements, severance agreements, and investor agreements.
据路透社报道,OpenAI公司推出的聊天机器人具有生成式人工智能功能,例如可以进行类似人类的对话以及根据文本提示创建图像等等,随着人工智能模型变得更加强大,这类技术不断引发安全方面的问题。
According to Reuters, OpenAI's chatbots feature generative AI capabilities, such as engaging in human-like conversations and creating images based on text prompts. As AI models become more powerful, such technologies continue to raise safety concerns.
今年5月,OpenAI成立了一个由其董事会成员领导的安全委员会,其中包括其首席执行官萨姆·奥尔特曼。
In May of this year, OpenAI established a safety committee led by members of its board, including its CEO Sam Altman.
