OpenAI says it discovered a hidden surveillance device planted in an executive conference room by employee Abdulrahman Alfozan, who was fired and arrested by the FBI on October 9. Federal prosecutors charged him with illegally intercepting oral communications after the device, found hidden behind a TV's USB port, was linked to him via a camera OpenAI had installed. OpenAI says it has found no evidence the employee accessed or exfiltrated model weights, source code, or customer data.

Judge Edward Davila has partially granted Apple's request for expedited discovery in its trade secrets case against former employees Chang Liu and Tang Tan, OpenAI, and io Products. The order requires defendants to hand over forensic images already collected and documents used to guide interviews of Apple candidates for OpenAI's consumer hardware team, while some broader requests were denied or deferred. Apple alleges the two ex-employees misused confidential Apple product information to aid OpenAI's hardware efforts and improperly extracted details from other Apple staff during interviews.
