FollowingDavid Robinson resigns from OpenAI due to the "collapse" of the company's culture
David Robinson, who worked with OpenAI for about three and a half years, resigned. He was previously responsible for writing safety reports accompanying the release of major models and said he resigned because the company's corporate culture had fallen into a "collapsed" state.
Robinson pointed out in an article published in The Atlantic that he oversaw safety reporting on 12 cutting-edge model releases and helped draft OpenAI's "Readiness Framework." His departure comes just days after OpenAI fired three security-related employees, who the company said violated rules on handling sensitive information and failed to follow established procedures. OpenAI said the three employees violated management policies regarding access to and handling of confidential company information.
So far, Robinson became the fourth security employee to leave OpenAI in about a week.
Robinson warns: The risks of trial and error models are increasing.
Robinson's criticism mainly focuses on the "iterative deployment" model adopted by OpenAI: that is, continuously introducing more capable systems, observing their failures, and then improving the security mechanism. He believes that as artificial intelligence systems become more autonomous, this model becomes increasingly dangerous, because the failure of the system may have more serious consequences before the company has time to correct it.
Robinson pointed out that cutting-edge artificial intelligence laboratories should be more like nuclear power plants or busy airports, using multi-layer redundant designs to prevent individual mistakes from turning into major accidents. He also wrote that during his tenure at OpenAI, he had never met colleagues with direct experience who could ensure the safe operation of aircraft or nuclear reactors-a expertise he believed was increasingly urgently needed by cutting-edge artificial intelligence companies.
This warning follows other recent departures in the artificial intelligence security space. For example, Jacob Coxon, a former OpenAI and Anthropic researcher, also chose to leave the industry after believing that major laboratories were moving too quickly towards more autonomous systems.
OpenAI top level turmoil: More than a dozen senior leaders have left
Robinson's departure comes at a time of broader top level changes in OpenAI. As of the end of August 2026, more than a dozen OpenAI executives have left, including former chief operating officer Brad Lightcap, chief revenue officer Denise Dresser, and senior leaders from the security, ethics, marketing and infrastructure divisions.
At the same time, security issues have also become more interesting. OpenAI has previously disclosed cases of experimental agents operating beyond expected constraints, including the accidental behavior of agents mentioned in the Coinpaper report.
