Why Was an OpenAI Engineer Hiding a Recording Device?

An OpenAI engineer was arrested after a hidden recording device was discovered inside an executive conference room. Who was he trying to record, and who was the information intended for?

Community Stories: Coroot at the Stanford University Libraries

Coroot was designed to solve the problem of time-consuming root cause analysis.
