美国司法部表示，被指控在人工智能巨头OpenAI旧金山办公室会议室内安装录音设备的前OpenAI工程师，在被联邦拘留前几天已预订了一张飞往沙特阿拉伯的单程机票。
The former OpenAI engineer charged with planting a recording device inside a conference room at the AI giant's San Francisco office had a one-way flight booked to Saudi Arabia days before he was taken into federal custody, the Justice Department said.
法庭文件显示，35岁的沙特国民阿卜杜勒拉赫曼·阿尔福赞（Abdulrahman Alfozan）为自己、妻子和另一位亲戚预订了10月12日的航班——这是他被捕后的几天。
Abdulrahman Alfozan, a 35-year-old Saudi national, had a flight booked for Oct. 12 — days after his arrest — for himself, his wife, and another relative, according to court documents.
联邦检察官在请求联邦法官封存针对他的刑事起诉书和逮捕令时，援引了他的旅行计划，认为公众知晓此案可能会促使他逃离美国。法庭文件称：“披露指定文件可能会危及被告的逮捕。”
Federal prosecutors cited his travel plans when asking a federal judge to seal the criminal complaint and arrest warrant against him, arguing that public knowledge of the case would prompt him to possibly flee the country. 8 EVERYDAY THINGS THAT WOULD QUIT WORKING WITHOUT DATA CENTERS "Disclosure of the specified documents might jeopardize the defendant's arrest," court documents state.
上个月，阿尔福赞在一档阿拉伯语播客中回忆起，他在2016年沙特王储穆罕默德·本·萨勒曼访问硅谷期间与其会面。
In an Arabic podcast last month, Alfozan recalled meeting Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman during his 2016 visit to Silicon Valley.
《纽约邮报》报道称，阿尔福赞说他一直在考虑是否返回祖国。对此，王储建议在硅谷生活和工作的年轻沙特人，在将专业知识带回祖国之前，先在顶尖科技公司磨练技能。
Alfozan said he had been contemplating whether to return to his native country. In response, the prince advised young Saudis living and working in Silicon Valley to refine their skills at premier tech companies before bringing their expertise home, the New York Post reported.
据报道，阿尔福赞在播客中说：“你从源头学习，然后，真主保佑，将那份经验和知识带回祖国。”
"You learn from the source and then, God willing, bring that experience and knowledge back to the homeland," Alfozan reportedly said on the podcast.
美国司法部表示，阿尔福赞于10月9日被捕，罪名是使用或试图使用设备拦截口头通信。
Alfozan was arrested Oct. 9 and charged with using or attempting to use a device to intercept oral communications, according to the Department of Justice.
联邦检察官称，OpenAI于9月30日发现了该加密设备，它插在一台电视背面的USB端口上，这台电视位于一个用于“高度机密”讨论的会议室内，讨论内容涉及专有研究、产品计划和商业机会。
OpenAI discovered the encrypted device Sept. 30, plugged into a USB port on the back of a television in a conference room used for "highly confidential" discussions involving proprietary research, product plans and business opportunities, federal prosecutors said.
该设备据称被藏在卫生纸中，两天前被安装。OpenAI 追踪到该设备与阿尔福赞有关，安防录像显示他多次出现在会议室附近，当局表示。
The device, concealed in toilet paper, had allegedly been installed two days earlier. OpenAI traced the device to Alfozan, and security footage showed him near the conference room multiple times, authorities said.
此外，据称其妻子关联的聊天机器人被用来处理关于如何安装和隐藏音频录音设备的提示。福克斯新闻数字版已联系阿尔福赞的律师以获取评论。
In addition, a chatbot associated with his wife was allegedly used to field prompts about ways to install and hide audio recording devices. Fox News Digital has reached out to Alfozan's attorney for comment.
