OpenAI employee’s arrest sparks debate over Silicon Vale spying

On paper, Abdulrahman Alfozan seemed like an ideal candidate for one of the most coveted artificial intelligence jobs in Silicon Valley.

The Saudi national attended the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and landed a job as an engineer at Meta, according to his LinkedIn page and online records. Alfozan then obtained a green card, spoke enthusiastically in a podcast about his career in Silicon Valley, and was invited to speak at Stanford University, while working as a part-time partner in a venture capital fund dedicated to expanding the Middle East’s tech ecosystem. He had lived in the United States for over a decade when he landed a mid-level role at OpenAI last year.
