〔財經頻道/綜合報導〕美國司法部最新公開的起訴書指出,美國人工智慧公司OpenAI的一名員工阿爾福贊(Abdulrahman Alfozan),因為涉嫌在該公司的高階主管會議室內,安裝一台「精密的錄音裝置」,已經在上週五(9日)被逮捕,並於週二(13日)首次在聯邦法院出庭,現年35歲的阿爾福贊是沙烏地阿拉伯公民,他被指控暗中錄下與OpenAI技術有關的敏感通訊內容。OpenAI則表示,已經將阿爾福贊給解雇。
美國司法部指出,OpenAI的員工於9月30日發現,在高階主管會議室內的電視機背面,有被插入了一個隱藏的錄音設備,被衛生紙包裹住,裝置內的資料則經過加密。

在調閱監視器畫面後,發現阿爾福贊在錄音裝置被發現前的數天內,曾多次出現在會議室附近;10月5日當天,他更直接進入會議室。
阿爾福贊2025年7月起受雇於OpenAI擔任工程師,而他並未獲准進入發現錄音裝置的高階主管會議室。
約在10月5日前後,OpenAI 大樓內還發現一個屬於阿爾福贊的袋子。保全人員在袋內找到他的皮夾、身分證件,以及另一台錄音裝置。這台裝置與藏在高階主管會議室內的裝置相似。
此外,司法部調查發現,一個與阿爾福贊配偶有關聯的聊天機器人帳號,曾被用來查詢連續錄音及 Wi-Fi 相關資訊。司法部指出,這個帳號與阿爾福贊本人的聊天機器人帳號有多項共同識別資訊及特徵。
相關帳號曾輸入多項提示詞,查詢內容涵蓋如何製作、客製化及安裝裝置,以及如何進行錄音、測試、隱蔽處理和遠端存取。
FBI 局長帕特爾(Kash Patel)在聲明中指出,阿爾福贊涉嫌將一台秘密錄音裝置藏在雇主的高階主管會議室內,暗中錄下與OpenAI超級智慧(SI)技術有關的敏感談話。FBI目前正在介入調查此案。
OpenAI 表示,目前沒有跡象顯示,這名員工曾不當存取或竊取模型權重、原始碼或客戶資料。OpenAI 強調:「我們嚴肅看待技術、資料與人員的安全保護,並將這項責任視為攸關國家利益的重要事項。」阿爾福贊目前已被解雇。
如果罪名成立,阿爾福贊將面臨最高5年監禁和25萬美元(約796萬元新台幣)罰款,另加3年獄後監督(Supervised Release)。

Apple has launched the 7-inch HomeView smart display, priced at US$299. It aims to become the hub of family life, integrating entertainment, communication and smart home control. However, because the price is higher than competing products, compatibility is not fully guaranteed, Siri AI is still in the beta stage, and Taiwan is not listed in the first wave of sales regions, it has caused foreign media and consumers to question its practicality and purchase value.

Although artificial intelligence translation performs well when processing proverbs and daily texts, serious errors still occur in professional fields such as law and medicine, such as mistranslation of units or legal terms, leading to potentially significant consequences. Experts warn that even smooth translation does not mean accuracy, and human proofreading is still indispensable.
AI short dramas are known as "domestic Korean dramas" and "domestic American dramas" because of their ability to generate international characters and scenes, promoting the expansion of Chinese short dramas overseas. The industry points out that AI has simplified the traditional production process, but there are also problems such as narrative routines, and differentiated development needs to be achieved through industrial ecological improvement and policy guidance. The creator emphasized that although AI has improved efficiency, the upper limit of artistic creation still relies on human beings' unique life experience and imagination.
Apple held a product experience conference in New York, released the HomeView smart home hub equipped with AI voice assistant, and launched the new Apple TV 4K and HomePod mini 2, aiming to further expand the smart home market layout.

Google DeepMind officially expanded its flagship AI model Gemini 4 Argon on October 13, making it available to global developers, enterprises, and Google AI Pro and Ultra subscribers. A limited-time API discount is also launched simultaneously, charging USD 2 per million input tokens and USD 10 for output, half of the official price starting in December. The model supports a unified context window of up to 1,048,576 tokens and is designed for long-term reasoning and multi-step processing. Enterprises can use it through Google Cloud and Gemini for business, and developers can connect through Google AI Studio or Gemini API. The model identification code is "gemini-4-argon". Google has set the API discount until November 30. During this period, when the implicit cache conditions are met and the cache is successfully hit, you can enjoy a 95% discount by entering the token, down to US$0.1 per million. Starting from December 1, the standard price will be adjusted to $4 for input and $20 for output, which is the same as the public pricing of Anthropic Claude Opus 5.5. The Intelligence Index of Artificial Analysis, a third-party organization, shows that Argon scored 53 points under the High reasoning setting, which is lower than the 58 points of Claude Opus 5.5; however, in the Vals Index published by Google itself, Argon scored 68.9% in professional work tests such as finance, law, program development, and taxation, which is higher than its competitors. In the program development test DeepSWE v1.1, Argon leads with 77.9%, but the terminal operation and actual software engineering problem test results are better than Argon by Claude Opus 5.5 or GPT-6 Astra. Google also announced internal application results. After the engineering team implemented AI agent development through Argon, the number of code submissions increased by more than 35%, and the proportion of code submissions that required rollback was reduced by nearly 30%. The Chrome team used Argon to handle rearchitecting efforts across hundreds of files. In addition, Google is also preparing to provide 10,000 qualified scientists with six months of free quota for the highest usage level of Google Antigravity, and expand the recruitment scope of the Fairwind Program that was originally limited to security defense partners.

Anthropic, an American AI company, announced new protective measures to significantly reduce the risk of competitors using "model distillation" to copy Claude's capabilities by restricting model inference data acquisition. The company also named China Zhipu AI as having tried to develop its own model in this way and has currently blocked tens of thousands of related accounts.
