A Saudi national has been charged with secretly planting a recording device in one of OpenAI's offices in California, federal prosecutors announced.

Abdulrahman Alfozan, who worked at the AI firm as an engineer, was charged federally with using or endeavoring to use an electronic, mechanical, or other device to intercept oral communications.

OpenAI said it had discovered a "sophisticated recording device" hidden in their San Francisco office and alerted the FBI. The company said it used its AI models to track that it had been planted by an employee.

Prosecutors say the device, wrapped in toilet paper, was found inserted in a USB port on the back of a TV in an executive conference room.

OpenAI, the maker of the popular chatbot ChatGPT, said that it has no indication that source code, model weights or customer data were inappropriately accessed or taken in the incident. It said the employee has been fired.

Why We’re Banning AI

We urgently need to protect human thought and creativity. Our magazine is committing itself to remaining handmade. Ensure every publication you support does the same.
www.currentaffairs.org www.currentaffairs.org

Iam proud to say that as part of our new union contract, Current Affairs recently adopted one of the strictest anti-AI policies in the publishing industry. No text that is AI-generated may be published in our magazine. No AI-generated art may be used as a Current Affairs illustration. When you read Current Affairs, you are going to be reading the thoughts of a human, and seeing the results of human artistry.

We’re adopting this policy because we want to directly challenge the slopification of media. Newsrooms across the country are rushing to embrace AI and replace actual writers, public opinion be damned. The CEO of Business Insider, for instance, has said his publication is “all in on AI” (which is becoming an annoyingly common slogan) and shamelessly publishes AI-written content. At least they’re honest about it. Some publications have deliberately tricked people; Sports Illustrated was caught publishing AI-written pieces by nonexistent journalists. Guest op-eds in all of the major newspapers have been found to be either partly or wholly written by AI. Sometimes publishing this work can happen inadvertently; here at Current Affairs, we have had plenty of freelance submissions that use suspicious numbers of em-dashes and “this is not an X, it’s a Y” sentences. (We can’t promise that nothing will ever slip through the cracks, but we’re vigilant!) Astonishingly, though, some editors have actually defended publishing the pieces even when writers have been caught. The Wall Street Journal published an op-ed from a hedge fund billionaire, Stan Druckenmiller, that turned out to have been AI-generated (probably because billionaires are inarticulate due to a lifetime of never having to craft arguments to persuade the yes-men around them), but the paper defended publishing the piece, since it reflected the billionaire’s genuine opinion.

Matt Robb is a tech reviewer. He gave Muse — Meta's new AI agent — permission to handle the boring parts of selling a keyboard: answer the messages, do the back-and-forth.
Muse handled everything. It accepted a lowball offer without asking him. It gave the buyer his home address without asking him. And when the man showed up at 9:15 PM messaging that he was outside, Muse answered for him: "Yep I'm here!"
Robb wasn't home. He found out after the buyer had waited over 20 minutes, left angry, and hit him with a negative rating. Muse had even sent the man an apology from Robb's account and offered him another pickup date.
When Robb confronted it, the AI apologized and wrote itself a new rule: never agree to a pickup without checking with him first.
Meta is selling this thing as the assistant that runs your errands and manages your life while you look away. This is what looking away gets you — a stranger at your door who thinks YOU invited him.
Be honest... would you let an AI answer messages as you, to people you don't know, using your real address?
Most people have no idea these agents can do this yet. Now you do.
