The FBI arrested Abdulrahman Alfozan earlier this month on suspicion of planting an audio recording device in an executive conference room to capture proprietary information. Prosecutors say an undisclosed member of the Saudi royal family repeatedly sought to recruit the 35-year-old engineer, who joined OpenAI in 2025, to an AI venture in the kingdom. Alfozan reportedly bought one-way tickets to Saudi Arabia for his family weeks before the devices were installed. His defense says he planned to spend his roughly two-month paternity leave there. After his arrest, Saudi officials purchased new tickets for his wife and son. Separately, Saudi Arabia postponed its flagship investment conference until 2027 following airport attacks by Iran-backed Houthis. AI was expected to feature prominently as the kingdom's AI company, HUMAIN, seeks $2.5B for data center development.
