OpenAI found a covert recording device hidden inside its office and says an employee has been arrested, fired and referred to the FBI. The device had been in place for only a few days.
OpenAI said it used its own AI models to analyze the device and trace it back to the employee who planted it. The company said there is so far no sign that model weights, source code or customer data were stolen.
The FBI investigation remains ongoing, leaving the incident focused on corporate security and insider access rather than a confirmed breach of OpenAI's core systems.
