Former OpenAI policy researcher Gretchen Kreuger has left the company, citing concerns over opaque decision-making processes and lack of accountability in the AI industry.

At least 45 employees have voluntarily left the San Francisco District Attorney's office in the year since Brooke Jenkins took over as the head, in addition to the 15 employees she fired.

Critics argue that Jenkins has failed to take responsibility for the office's unchanged conditions and has instead blamed her predecessor.
