On paper, Abdulrahman Alfozan seemed like an ideal candidate for one of Silicon Valley’s most coveted artificial intelligence jobs.
The Saudi national attended the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and landed an engineering job at Meta, according to his LinkedIn page and online records. Alfozan later secured a green card, spoke enthusiastically on a podcast about his Silicon Valley career and was invited to speak at Stanford University, all while working as a part-time partner at a venture capital fund dedicated to expanding the tech ecosystem in the Middle East. He had lived in the United States for more than a decade when he scored a mid-level role at OpenAI last year.
