OpenAI fired Ryan Beiermeister, the vice president of product policy, for alleged sexual discrimination against a male colleague following her opposition to the company’s upcoming “Adult Mode.” The executive denied the allegations, stating she had raised concerns that the AI erotica feature would negatively impact user well-being and child safety. CEO Sam Altman is defending the rollout as part of a strategy to treat users like adults while the firm faces competition from xAI and Google.
