OpenAI and its subsidiary Statsig have agreed to pay $3.2 million to settle allegations brought by the US Department of Justice. The government claimed the companies discriminated against US job applicants by favoring foreign workers holding temporary employment visas during the recruitment process.
The settlement resolves the justice department's findings that the artificial intelligence company and its subsidiary bypassed qualified domestic workers in favor of temporary visa holders. The financial penalty concludes the federal inquiry into these hiring practices.
