Prosecutors say ex-OpenAI employee accused of planting recording device received 'what appears to be considerable support' from the Saudi government

US prosecutors state that former OpenAI employee Abdulrahman Alfozan, who is accused of planting a recording device, received what appears to be considerable support from the Saudi government. According to the prosecutors, Alfozan maintained contact with a member of the Saudi Royal Family as recently as October 5. This evidence suggests that the individual accused of the surveillance activity had significant backing from Saudi Arabian authorities during the period involving the alleged planting of the device.
