OpenAI: employee arrested for planting a recording device in an executive conference room

OpenAI said it found a hidden recording device, used its own AI to trace it, and referred the case to the FBI. DOJ says Abdulrahman Alfozan was arrested Oct 9 and charged with intercepting oral communications. OpenAI says it has no indication that model weights, source code or customer data were accessed or exfiltrated. The employee was terminated. Insider-threat reminder for AI labs.
