美国司法部宣布，OpenAI及其子公司Statsig Inc.已同意支付320万美元，以解决在招聘过程中歧视美国公民、偏好临时签证外国工人的指控[1]。根据和解协议，OpenAI将支付120万美元民事罚款，并设立200万美元赔偿基金[1]。
司法部的调查显示，OpenAI在招聘少于十个职位时存在不当行为[1]。具体而言，该公司未在外部网站公告这些职位，并采取了晚间发布招聘信息和要求纸质申请等措施，实际上劝阻了美国申请者的投递[1]。作为和解条件，OpenAI需要改进其招聘政策并接受司法部的监督[1]。
这是美国司法部自2025年重启就业歧视执法项目以来达成的第13项和解协议[1]。OpenAI的发言人对此回应称："我们需要全球招聘以确保人工通用智能造福全人类"[1]。
The U.S. Department of Justice announced that OpenAI and its subsidiary Statsig Inc. will pay $3.2 million to resolve allegations of discrimination against American citizens in their hiring practices, with a preference shown toward temporary visa workers [1]. The settlement includes a $1.2 million civil penalty and the establishment of a $2 million compensation fund for affected applicants [1].
An investigation by the Department of Justice found that OpenAI failed to advertise certain positions on external job boards and employed tactics designed to discourage American applicants, including posting job openings late in the evening and requiring paper-based applications [1]. The discrimination claims involved fewer than ten positions [1]. As part of the settlement agreement, OpenAI must revise its recruitment policies and submit to ongoing oversight [1].
This settlement marks the 13th enforcement action the Department of Justice has concluded since relaunching this employment enforcement initiative in 2025 [1]. An OpenAI spokesperson stated: "We need global recruitment to ensure artificial general intelligence benefits all of humanity" [1].
