Accused OpenAI spy had folder called “Saudi Gov Docs,” FBI says

Ars Technica 3 days ago 7 ● 3 sources

A former OpenAI engineer accused of bugging a top-secret conference room was kept detained after a court granted the US government’s request to block release of related materials. The FBI found that he accessed a folder called “Saudi Gov Docs” on his iPhone shortly before his arrest. The case’s next step is the government continuing to pursue its allegations and keep him detained while it builds its evidence for trial.
