DOJ's OpenAI Green-Card Settlement Extends PERM-Process Enforcement to the AI Industry

The DOJ secured a $3.2 million settlement with OpenAI over alleged PERM-process discrimination against U.S. workers, the first such action against an AI-era company. Facebook and Apple signed similar settlements under Biden. OpenAI's case covers fewer than 10 roles but carries three years of DOJ oversight of its green-card sponsorship hiring policies.
