OpenAI denies Apple’s allegations
Earlier today, Apple filed a lawsuit against former employees Chang Liu and Tang Tan, as well as OpenAI and io Products, alleging “trade secret misappropriation and breach of contract.”
In it, Apple accuses its former employees of stealing confidential hardware information and using it to advance OpenAI’s nascent consumer hardware efforts.
The company details what it describes as “a pattern of theft of Apple’s trade secrets by OpenAI employees who were formerly at Apple,” adding that “such misconduct is normalized and exemplified by leadership.”
