OpenAI eavesdropping case enters plea stage: defendant pleads not guilty, faces up to five years in prison if convicted
Saudi citizen Alfozan is accused of hiding a listening device behind a wall-mounted TV in an OpenAI executive meeting room around September 28. He appeared in a San Francisco federal court on Friday and pleaded not guilty to the sole charge of intercepting oral communications, which carries up to five years in prison and a $250,000 fine, with his next hearing set for November 17. Prosecutors say he had worked on OpenAI's product team since July 2025 and was arrested and charged on the same day he was fired in October. The case involves a serious breach inside a leading AI company, and its proceedings are worth following.
