AN ex-OpenAI engineer and alleged spy has pleaded not guilty following accusations he bugged his former employer’s HQ. Abdulrahman Alfozan, 35, faces federal charges after ChatGPT bosses discovered a “sophisticated recording device” hidden behind a TV in their head office in late September. The Saudi-national entered a plea of not guilty in a San Francisco court to one charge of intercepting oral communications on Friday. Alfozan did not speak except to state his name and age and affirm that he understood the nature of the charges against him. Entering the packed courtroom, Alfozan reportedly waved toward his friends in the public gallery, Courthouse News Service reports. If convicted he faces up to five years in prison, a fine of $250,000 and possible deportation.
