Read previewOpenAI's office in San Francisco is crawling with undercover security guards who don't take kindly to questions, locals say.
Photographers for The San Francisco Standard, an online local news outlet, said they recently noticed what looked like undercover security guards standing outside the company's office.
OpenAI first moved into its 59,000-square-foot office in San Francisco's Mission District in July 2023.
Iain Langlands, a cashier at a pet store just one block from the office, told the Standard that the "vibe" surrounding the OpenAI office is "secretive."
California's Bureau of Security and Investigative Services — which issues security guard licenses — did not immediately return Business a request for comment from Business Insider.
