The device detected with artificial intelligence
«We used our models to analyze the device and trace its origin, identifying an employee who had placed it a few days earlier», explained OpenAI regarding the matter. «We reported the incident to the FBI and are grateful to the agents and prosecutors who acted quickly to make the arrest. The FBI investigation is ongoing and we will continue to support their work.”
“The employment relationship with the employee has been terminated,” the note specifies.
Security “also at national level”
«We consider the protection of our technology, data and people to be an issue of extreme importance, including at a national level. Our security program is designed to defend us from a wide range of threats – ranging from internal risks to cybercriminals to state actors – and this case demonstrates how artificial intelligence can help address these sophisticated security threats,” concludes the note from the Californian artificial intelligence giant.
