By Daniel WiessnerAug 4 (Reuters) - OpenAI and a subsidiary will pay $3.2 million to settle U.S. government claims that they favored foreign workers with temporary employment visas and discriminated against U.S. job applicants in recruiting and hiring, the U.S.
Justice Department said on Tuesday.
The Justice Department in a release said that OpenAI and Statsig, which makes product development software, recruited foreign workers for some open positions and took various steps to discourage U.S. workers from applying.
President Donald Trump, a Republican, has said that many companies abuse the temporary employment visa system and has sought to limit the hiring of foreign workers.
OpenAI also agreed to revise its employment policies, conduct training, and to be subject to monitoring by the Justice Department, the agency said.
