OpenAI says employee caught planting listening device

OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT , said Tuesday one of its employees was arrested after a "sophisticated recording device" was found in one of its San Francisco offices. A 35-year-old Saudi national working as an engineer was arrested on Friday, a week after the device was discovered in a conference room, according to a criminal complaint filed in federal court in San Francisco. After the device was discovered, the company reported the finding to the FBI and fired the employee. A federal investigation is ongoing. The suspect, who appeared in court on Tuesday, has been charged with using or endeavoring to use an electronic, mechanical, or other device to intercept oral communications.
