OpenAI recently advertised a job for an internal risk technology investigator to "strengthen the company's ability to defend against internal security threats". The job description said the responsibilities included analysing anomalous activity, detecting and mitigating internal threats, and working with human resources and legal departments to "conduct investigations of suspicious activity". OpenAI was targeted by malicious actors in 2023, when hackers breached its internal messaging system. The revelation came to light after two people familiar with the matter leaked information to The New York Times. In addition to the hacking group, the job posting seemed to indicate that OpenAI was concerned about threats from its own employees, although it was unclear what exactly OpenAI was on guard against.
