美检方称前OpenAI工程师窃听案受沙特方面支持

精选理由

用ChatGPT做窃听器、用内部Agent找会议室,这案子细节太离谱了,检方还点名沙特,OpenAI却说没丢东西。

美国检方指控前OpenAI工程师Alfozan在高管会议室安装窃听装置,并称其获得沙特方面支持。检方称一名未具名沙特王室成员与Alfozan频繁通过WhatsApp联系,试图招募他加入沙特的AI项目,Alfozan在2025年5月表示沙特更需要他。被捕次日,其妻儿乘单程商务舱航班飞往卡塔尔,检方称机票由一名沙特军方官员预订付款。检方称他用妻子的ChatGPT账号研究如何制作加密录音设备,并利用OpenAI内部生产力智能体查找高管和外部合作伙伴使用的会议室。被窃听的会议室曾用于OpenAI领导层与政府官员的会面,OpenAI则表示未发现模型权重、源代码或客户数据被盗的迹象。

BBC: US prosecutors say the ex-OpenAI engineer accused of bugging an executive meeting room has Saudi government backing.

An unnamed Saudi royal exchanged frequent WhatsApp messages with Alfozan and tried to recruit him to a Saudi AI initiative, and Alfozan allegedly agreed in May that the kingdom needed him more than the US while saying he would wait for his OpenAI stock to vest.

The day after his arrest, his wife and son flew one-way to Qatar on business-class tickets that prosecutors say a Saudi military official booked and paid for.

Prosecutors say he used his wife’s ChatGPT account to research making and encrypting a recording device, and used an internal OpenAI productivity agent to find rooms used by senior staff and outside partners.

The bugged room hosted meetings between OpenAI leadership and government officials, which prosecutors frame as a national security risk, while OpenAI says it has seen no sign of stolen model weights, source code or customer data.
