OpenAI VP Fired Amid "Adult Mode" Erotica Row
11 Feb
Summary
- VP fired in January after sex discrimination allegations.
- Criticism of planned "adult mode" may have led to firing.
- OpenAI denies firing is linked to concerns raised.
A former vice president of product policy at OpenAI was terminated in January. This dismissal followed a sex discrimination accusation from a male colleague, which the executive vehemently denies. The termination reportedly occurred after she voiced opposition to a planned "adult mode" feature for ChatGPT, intended to incorporate erotica into user interactions.
OpenAI's CEO of Applications confirmed the new feature is slated for launch this quarter. Despite internal concerns about the potential impact of the "adult" content on certain users, OpenAI stated the executive's departure was unrelated to any issues she raised. She had previously worked at Meta and Palantir.
