OpenAI Fires Employee After Finding Hidden Recording Device

OpenAI terminated an employee after discovering a sophisticated recording device hidden inside a San Francisco office conference room in late September.

The company utilized its own AI models to analyze the gadget and trace its origin, noting no indications of compromised customer data or model weights.

The U.S. Justice Department identified the arrested suspect as 35-year-old Saudi national Abdulrahman Alfozan, who faces up to five years in prison if convicted.
