  "account": "Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) in the United States has arrested an OpenAI employee for possession of a hidden listening device in an office, according to the AI company. OpenAI developer revealed on Tuesday on the X platform that they had used their own artificial intelligence (AI) models to identify the culprit and trace the source of the incident. At present, there is no indication that the individual unlawfully accessed proprietary codes, customer data, or model weights. The employee has been terminated. The FBI has been informed. OpenAI is increasingly under scrutiny due to various security incidents. Three researchers were recently fired by the company on Friday for allegedly violating internal policies regarding the handling of sensitive information. The affected employees subsequently criticized in an open letter, arguing that the sudden dismissals could demoralize the workforce and jeopardize a corporate culture that encourages addressing security concerns openly. More: OpenAI AI model went unnoticed on a hacker tour for a full day.",
