A recording device wrapped in toilet paper and plugged into the back of a television in an executive conference room at OpenAI’s San Francisco office has led to the arrest of one of the company’s engineers. Abdulrahman Alfozan, a 35-year-old Saudi national who had worked at OpenAI as an engineer since July 2025, was arrested on October 9 and charged with using or endeavoring to use a device to intercept oral communications, the US Department …

AI data centers have spent heavily on faster accelerators, denser racks and liquid cooling to keep that hardware running. The data pipeline that feeds those processors has not kept up, and expensive compute ends up waiting on memory and storage. That gap is getting more attention as AI infrastructure bottlenecks become central to data center planning. The fix is to rethink the external memory and storage tiers behind the GPU, according to Hao Zhong (pictured), co-founder and chief executive officer of ScaleFlux Inc. “GPU and TPU performance has been advancing incredibly fast, almost more than 1,000 times in the last eight years,” Zhong said. “And we need to keep up with the data pipeline. Otherwise, we are not going to get enough efficiency out of that.” Zhong spoke with theCUBE Research’s John Furrier at the AI Data Pipeline Forum, during an exclusive broadcast on theCUBE, SiliconANGLE Media’s livestreaming studio. They discussed AI memory bottlenecks, liquid cooling and the shift toward inference and agentic workloads. (* Disclosure below.) Looking past liquid cooling to the AI data pipeline Zhong describes AI infrastructure as a pipeline with several stages. Processors with high-bandwidth memory make up the first stage, and external DRAM and SSDs...

A senior OpenAI engineer is facing federal charges after prosecutors say he concealed a homemade audio recorder — disguised with toilet paper — in an executive conference room where proprietary research and government deals were discussed. The case is a stark reminder that for AI companies sitting at the center of a global tech race, the security threat can come from the inside. The FBI says protecting American AI innovation is now one of its top counterintelligence priorities.
