跟进：被控在OpenAI高管会议室安放录音设备的沙特籍前工程师否认有罪：最高面临5年监禁
旧金山 — 被控在 OpenAI 高管会议室安放录音设备的沙特阿拉伯公民阿卜杜勒拉赫曼·阿尔福赞（Abdulrahman Alfozan，35岁）11月6日在旧金山联邦法院否认有罪。他被控一项截听口头通信罪名，如被定罪，最高面临5年监禁和25万美元罚款。
阿尔福赞通过律师向联邦治安法官 Peter Kang 作出无罪答辩。他自10月9日被捕以来一直被联邦羁押、不准保释，下次出庭定于11月17日。大陪审团已于10月27日正式起诉他。被指控不等于被定罪，他在法律上被推定无罪，直至法庭证明其有罪。
检方指控，阿尔福赞把一个拇指大小、由电路板和麦克风组成的设备裹在卫生纸里，于9月28日前后塞进 OpenAI 一间高管会议室壁挂电视的后面，意图截听内部讨论。他自2025年7月起在 OpenAI 产品团队工作，被捕当日被公司解雇，他原定在数日后离开美国。
GSM 此前报道了司法部10月13日宣布逮捕起诉的决定，以及检方以潜逃风险为由请求继续羁押的进展。此次无罪答辩是案件进入审判程序的新一步。

Follow-up: Saudi Ex-OpenAI Engineer Pleads Not Guilty to Bugging Executive Conference Room, Faces Up to Five Years
SAN FRANCISCO — Abdulrahman Alfozan, the 35-year-old Saudi national accused of bugging a restricted OpenAI conference room, pleaded not guilty on November 6 in federal court in San Francisco. He faces a single count of intercepting oral communications, which carries a maximum penalty of five years in prison and a $250,000 fine if he is convicted.
Alfozan entered the plea through his lawyer before US Magistrate Judge Peter Kang. He has been held in federal custody without bail since his arrest on October 9, and is next scheduled to appear in court on November 17. A grand jury indicted him on October 27. A charge is not a conviction, and he is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in court.
Prosecutors allege that Alfozan wrapped a thumb-sized circuit board and microphone in toilet paper and inserted the device behind a wall-mounted television in an executive conference room at OpenAI's offices around September 28, intending to capture sensitive internal discussions. He had worked on OpenAI's product team since July 2025 and was fired on the day of his arrest, shortly before he was set to leave the country.
GSM previously reported the Justice Department's October 13 announcement of his arrest and charge, and prosecutors' request that he remain detained as a flight risk. The not guilty plea is the case's next step toward trial.
