OpenAI has agreed to pay $3.2 million to resolve a U.S. government claim that it discriminated against American job applicants while recruiting for certain roles. The U.S. Department of Justice, through its Civil Rights Division, announced the settlement on Tuesday. According to the claim, OpenAI and a subsidiary favored workers on temporary employment visas over U.S. workers during hiring. The DOJ said the allegations relate to how the company recruited and hired for a specific set of positions, and that the conduct may have violated federal anti-discrimination law. The settlement resolves the government’s claims without the article sources describing any admission of wrongdoing. The Next Web and NDTV both report that the payment is intended to settle the probe and end the dispute between the government and OpenAI regarding the hiring practices under review.
