OpenAI says it used its own AI models to work out who planted the device, and it has since fired the employee. Prosecutors allege Abdulrahman Alfozan hid the encrypted recorder, wrapped in toilet paper, in a TV's USB port, found on 30 September. He appeared in court on Tuesday and could be jailed for a maximum of five years.
