资讯：媒体爆料OpenAI 强权条款，CEO公开回应

OpenAI employees who left the company without signing a non-disparagement agreement could have lost vested equity if they did not comply — but the policy was never used, CEO Sam Altman said on Saturday.
OpenAI的首席执行官Sam Altman在周六表示，如果没有签署不贬低协议的员工离开公司，他们可能会失去已归属的股权——但是这个政策从未被使用过。

Vox News first reported on the exit contract terms following the high-profile exits of two AI safety researchers at the company: Superalignment co-lead Jan Leike and cofounder and former Chief Scientist Ilya Sutskever.
Vox News 首先报道了该公司两名人工智能安全研究人员高调退出后的退出合同条款：Superalignment 联合负责人 Jan Leike 和联合创始人兼前首席科学家 Ilya Sutskever。

Both Sutskever and Leike left on Tuesday. Though he did not speak about the reasons behind his sudden departure, Business Insider previously reported that Sutskever, an OpenAI board member, had been in limbo after his attempt to oust Altman as CEO.
苏茨克维尔和雷克均于周二离开。 尽管他没有透露突然离职的原因，但《商业内幕》此前报道称，OpenAI 董事会成员 Sutskever 在试图罢免 Altman 首席执行官职务后陷入了困境。

Leike kept mum until Friday morning when he said he left because OpenAI's "safety culture and processes have taken a backseat to shiny products."
Leike 一直保持沉默，直到周五早上他才表示自己离开是因为 OpenAI 的“安全文化和流程已经让位于闪亮的产品”。

Vox reported on Friday that their silence could have been due to a nondisparagement agreement forbidding former employees from criticizing the company — and from even acknowledging the existence of the NDA.
Vox 周五报道称，他们的沉默可能是由于一项不贬低协议，该协议禁止前员工批评该公司，甚至禁止承认保密协议的存在。

On Saturday, Altman confirmed that the contract was real — but said the company has never "clawed back anyone's vested equity." He also said that moving forward, the company would no longer include that clause on exit paperwork.
周六，奥特曼证实该合同是真实的，但表示该公司从未“收回任何人的既得股权”。 他还表示，今后公司将不再在退出文件中包含该条款。

"this is on me and one of the few times i've been genuinely embarrassed running openai; i did not know this was happening and i should have," Altman wrote on X.
Altman 在 X 上写道：“这是我的责任，也是我为数不多的几次运行 openai 感到尴尬的事情之一；我不知道发生了这种事，但我应该知道。”

BI previously reported that OpenAI's employee compensation includes a flat base salary of $300,000 alongside a yearly grant of around $500,000 in PPUs, or profit participation units, a form of equity compensation.
BI 此前报道称，OpenAI 的员工薪酬包括 30 万美元的固定基本工资，以及每年约 50 万美元的 PPU（利润参与单位）补助金，这是一种股权补偿形式。
