FBI prende engenheiro da OpenAI por dispositivo de gravação escondido

–

Resumo neutro

O FBI prendeu Abdulrahman Alfozan, um saudita de 35 anos e engenheiro da OpenAI, sob a acusação de plantar um dispositivo de gravação oculto em uma sala de reuniões executiva no escritório da empresa em São Francisco. O dispositivo, do tamanho de um polegar, tinha microfone e podia se conectar a uma câmera; estava escondido em papel higiênico e conectado a uma porta USB atrás de uma TV. Segundo o Departamento de Justiça dos EUA, o dispositivo foi descoberto por volta de 30 de setembro, e Alfozan trabalhava na OpenAI desde julho de 2025. A OpenAI disse que usou seus próprios modelos de IA para 'entender o dispositivo e de onde veio' e identificar a pessoa que o plantou. Os investigadores alegam que Alfozan pode ter usado ferramentas de IA para construir o dispositivo, e um segundo dispositivo semelhante foi posteriormente encontrado em sua bolsa. Ele enfrenta até cinco anos de prisão e multa de US$ 250 mil. A OpenAI afirmou que não encontrou evidências de vazamento de dados de usuários, código-fonte ou parâmetros de modelos de IA. Alguns veículos, incluindo The Register e Middle East Eye, relatam que o dispositivo estava conectado a uma TV, enquanto o Business Insider observa que custou cerca de US$ 24. A empresa disse que leva a sério a proteção de suas tecnologias e dados, chamando o caso de questão de importância nacional.
