Summary
The department said that while there were fewer than 10 positions at issue, the sizeable settlement reflected the harm OpenAI's conduct caused to US workers. Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon said in a statement that "this substantial settlement ensures that OpenAI redresses harm and changes its recruitment practices so that US workers receive a fair opportunity for highly sought-after technology positions." The Justice Department alleged that both companies violated the federal Immigration and Nationality Act, which bars discrimination based on citizenship. The Justice Department has announced at least a dozen other settlements since last year in cases involving alleged discrimination against US workers, mostly by tech companies but none as high-profile as OpenAI.
Furthermore, OpenAI and a subsidiary will pay $3.2 million to settle US government claims that they favored foreign workers with temporary employment visas and discriminated against US job applicants in recruiting and hiring, the US 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 US 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.
