A court filing has revealed that an ex‑OpenAI employee accused of planting a device reportedly had support from Saudi Arabia, the document said. The filing, submitted to a U.S. court, alleges that the former worker received assistance from Saudi authorities in the alleged act.
According to the court documents, the device in question was allegedly planted at a location tied to the former employee’s former employer. The filing does not provide further details about the nature of the device or the circumstances of its placement.
The Saudi government has not yet responded to requests for comment from BBC News. No official statement has been issued regarding the allegations or the alleged support cited in the filing.
OpenAI, the artificial‑intelligence research lab that developed the GPT series of language models, has not commented on the case. The organization has previously faced scrutiny over its security and data‑handling practices, but no direct link to the alleged incident has been confirmed.
Legal proceedings are ongoing, and further information is expected as the case develops. For now, the court filing remains the only source of detail about the alleged Saudi support for the ex‑OpenAI worker.
