OpenAI Removes Diversity Commitment Page From Its Website – Business Insider
OpenAI appears to have removed a page from its website outlining its commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion — and now redirects the URL to a page titled “Building dynamic teams.”
An archived version of the old DEI commitment page, seen by Business Insider, referenced OpenAI’s pledge to “continuously improve” its diversity efforts and acknowledged the importance of addressing bias in AI systems.
The new page does not mention diversity, equity, or inclusion. Instead, it refers to fostering collaboration among people with “different backgrounds, experiences, and ways of thinking.”
It is not clear exactly when OpenAI made the change. The last available version of the previous DEI commitment page on the Wayback Machine — a tool for accessing archived web pages — is dated September 7.
TechCrunch, which first reported the change, pointed to the diversity commitment page being cited as available in an ABC News story published on January 22.
“Our investment in diversity, equity, and inclusion is ongoing, executed through a wide range of initiatives, owned by everyone across the company, and championed and supported by leadership,” the DEI commitment page, archived on September 7, states. “We take this work seriously and are committed to continuously improving our work in creating a diverse, equitable, and inclusive organization.”
OpenAI did not immediately respond to a Business Insider request for comment.
Corporate America, including tech companies, has been rolling back DEI initiatives.
Earlier this month, Google ended its hiring targets tied to diversity, according to an internal memo obtained by Business Insider. The company also announced a review of its DEI programs.
In January, Meta dissolved its DEI team, while Target scaled back multiple diversity-focused initiatives.
The shift away from DEI efforts began before President Donald Trump’s reelection, with companies like Walmart, Ford, and Lowe’s scaling back similar programs last year.
