OpenAI terminates employee for allegedly using confidential company data on prediction markets.
San Francisco: OpenAI fired an employee who used secret company information on prediction markets, the company said. The employee traded on websites like Polymarket, which lets people bet on what will happen in the future. The worker broke company rules by using insider information for personal gain. Prediction markets are websites where people can make money by guessing outcomes of real-world events. OpenAI says this kind of trading using company secrets is not allowed. The employee was caught and let go for these actions.
Prediction markets are different from gambling because they focus on real events rather than games of chance. Big platforms like Polymarket and Kalshi work like financial markets where people trade on information. The company did not tell us the fired employee’s name or exactly which trades were made. This happened after other companies like MrBeast’s team also fired someone for similar behavior. OpenAI said using secret company information for trading is against their rules.
