Seguridad

El arresto del exingeniero de OpenAI Abdulrahman Alfozan ha reavivado el debate sobre las implicaciones de seguridad de contar con talento extranjero en el sector tecnológico de EE.  UU. , según informó The Washington Post el 15 de octubre. El 9 de octubre, el Departamento de Justicia de EE.  UU.

anunció que el FBI había detenido a Alfozan, un ciudadano saudí, después de que se descubriera un dispositivo de grabación oculto en una sala de conferencias de alto nivel en la oficina de la compañía en San Francisco. The Hacker News informó que Alfozan instaló el dispositivo él mismo. BBC señaló que compareció ante un tribunal federal en California ese mismo día. Fortune indicó que los fiscales federales alegan que utilizó una cuenta de ChatGPT vinculada a su esposa para diseñar el grabador y lo acusaron de interceptación de comunicaciones.
