Settlement with OpenAI for Discriminating Against U.S. Workers

> The agreement also requires OpenAI to train its personnel on the INA’s anti-discrimination requirements, revise its employment policies, and be subject to departmental monitoring and reporting requirements, to prevent future discrimination.

Being subject to inspections from the Government to monitor your implementation of X or Y is not fun. I've been through that. The company spends an unholy amount of resources to make sure the results of those inspections are positive. The legal risk if the inspectors don't like what they see is simply too high. The punishment for the first offense of 3 mil is nothing, lighter than a slap on the wrist, but the second could be devastating, and the upper management does not like to entertain the possibility. And even if the consequences of a repeat offense are not entirely devastating, it's is extremely likely that a few people will lose their jobs, even if only as scapegoats. And people don't like losing their jobs. Those people in high positions that are at risk of losing their jobs will direct lots and lots of people under them to spend lots and lots of time in lots of meetings, writing lots of reports, just to make sure the inspectors are happy.
