Top leadership news

The FBI announced Tuesday that it had arrested Abdulrahman Alfozan, a former OpenAI employee accused of planting a secret recording device in a conference room used for executive meetings. OpenAI fired him after finding the device, though investigators have found no evidence of a leak.

Albertsons withdrew its financial forecasts as executive chair Meg Whitman pushed for faster changes after two straight quarters of falling sales. The company is reviewing costs, operations, and portfolio of brands to improve performance.

Hachette CEO David Shelley told Fortune he writes his own emails and warned that AI-written messages could create a gap between how leaders come across in writing and who they are in person. He also worries that outsourcing writing and reading to AI could weaken executives’ judgment, curiosity, and ability to think on their feet.
