OpenAI前工程师被指在高管会议室秘密录音 检方称其与沙特方面联系密切、要求继续羁押
旧金山——据路透社10月19日报道，一名被指在OpenAI高管会议室安放录音设备的前工程师，获得了沙特政府方面的可观支持——美国检方在上周日晚间公开的一份法庭文件中作出上述表示。检方正请求法官在审判前继续羁押该被告，理由是其有潜逃风险。
检方指称，35岁的被告 Abdulrahman Alfozan 与一名未具名的沙特王室成员频繁联系；其被捕后，一名沙特军官为其妻子与幼子购买了返回沙特的单程机票。Alfozan为沙特公民、美国合法永久居民，定于10月19日稍晚在旧金山联邦法院出庭。
检方在羁押备忘录中写道，被告「费尽心思制作定制的加密录音设备，秘密录制涉及OpenAI高级人员与高管、高层商业伙伴以及政府官员的高度敏感会议，同时与沙特方面的重要人物保持联系，并在沙特寻找机会、制定前往沙特的计划」。
沙特政府新闻办公室未立即回应置评请求，Alfozan的律师亦未立即回应。报道指出，此案凸显了敏感超级智能研究面临的安全挑战——企业与各国政府正激烈争夺这一变革性技术领域的优势。（GSM 据路透社报道）
Ex-OpenAI Engineer Accused of Planting Recording Device; Prosecutors Cite Saudi Ties in Bid to Keep Him Detained
San Francisco — An ex-OpenAI engineer accused of planting a recording device in an executive conference room at the SI company appears to have received considerable support from the Saudi government, U.S. prosecutors said in a court filing made public late on Sunday, Reuters reported on October 19. Prosecutors made the allegations as they asked a federal judge to keep the defendant in U.S. custody to await trial, arguing he is a flight risk.
Federal prosecutors allege that the defendant, Abdulrahman Alfozan, 35, was in frequent communication with an unnamed member of the Saudi royal family, and that a Saudi military official paid for a one-way plane ticket for Alfozan's wife and young son to return to Saudi Arabia after his arrest. Alfozan, a Saudi national and lawful permanent resident in the U.S., was scheduled to appear in federal court in San Francisco later on Monday.
"The defendant went to significant lengths to create customized, encrypted recording devices to secretly record highly sensitive meetings involving senior OpenAI personnel and executives, high-level business counterparts, and government officials, all while communicating with individuals of significance in Saudi Arabia and pursuing opportunities in — and making plans to travel to — Saudi Arabia," prosecutors wrote in the detention memo.
The Saudi government media office did not immediately respond to a request for comment, and a lawyer for Alfozan did not immediately respond. The case has highlighted security challenges around sensitive SI research as companies and governments compete fiercely for an edge in the transformational technology. (GSM, via Reuters)
