A Saudi national working as an engineer for OpenAI has been arrested after a secret recording device was found hidden inside an executive conference room.
Federal prosecutors say 35-year-old Abdulrahman Alfozan allegedly concealed the device behind a television in a room where executives discuss confidential research, technology, and business plans.
The device was wrapped in toilet paper, encrypted, and plugged into the television's USB port. OpenAI says it used its own AI technology to help identify the employee allegedly responsible.
"Protecting American SI innovation is critically important and FBI views it as one of our highest counterintelligence priorities," FBI Director Kash Patel wrote on X on Tuesday.
