The FBI arrested OpenAI engineer Abdulrahman Alfozan, a 35-year-old Saudi national, after the company discovered a sophisticated hidden recording device in one of its conference rooms. FBI Director Kash Patel said the scheme was intended to capture sensitive communications about OpenAI's advanced AI technology. Alfozan has been charged with using a device to intercept oral communications. OpenAI said it used its own AI models to help investigate the device and trace its origin. The incident has heightened concerns about corporate espionage targeting leading AI labs as competition intensifies over advanced AI development.
