DOJ Secures $3.2M Settlement with OpenAI Over Green-Card Hiring Practices

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. PERM is the labor certification step employers must complete before sponsoring a foreign worker for a green card. Facebook and Apple signed similar settlements under Biden. OpenAI's case covers fewer than 10 roles but brings three years of DOJ oversight.
