Summary
$3.2 million will be paid by OpenAI and a subsidiary to resolve Justice Department allegations that they discriminated against U.S. workers in hiring.
The DOJ said the companies favored foreign workers holding temporary employment visas over American applicants, making the labor-discrimination claim the center of the settlement.
Tuesday's announcement puts one of the highest-profile AI companies under federal scrutiny over employment practices, extending pressure beyond the sector's usual focus on model safety and competition.
