NoteThe claim specifies '650+ employees across trust, safety, and alignment divisions' as of December 2025. The source text does not provide this specific number. While the source confirms OpenAI has a safety team and mentions ~1,000 employees across 'applied engineering, scaling, and safety' (a broader category that includes non-safety roles), it does not break down the safety/trust/alignment divisions into a specific 650-person figure. The source explicitly states 'a robust safety team, though numbers weren't disclosed.' The additional context about 'daily human review audits exceed 500,000 samples' is also not mentioned in the source. Without a specific figure in the source text, this claim cannot be verified.
