Federal grand jury indicts alleged open AI spy

A federal grand jury indicted a former OpenAI engineer on Tuesday over an alleged bugging of an executive conference room last month. The indictment, filed in the Northern District of California, charges Abdulrahman Alfozan with one count of interception of oral communications related to OpenAI’s business operations. It notes that Alfozan would have to forfeit all audiovisual recording devices in his possession while he worked at OpenAI’s San Francisco office if convicted. Alfozan faces up to five years in prison if convicted.
