OpenAI has issued a new statement in reaction to Apple’s lawsuit accusing the company of trade secret theft. Here are the details.

OpenAI ‘not aware’ of evidence supporting Apple’s claims

Last Friday, Apple filed a lawsuit against OpenAI, accusing the company and several former Apple employees of stealing confidential hardware information to advance OpenAI’s consumer-device ambitions.

Shortly after Apple filed its lawsuit, OpenAI’s Director of Strategic Communications, Drew Pusateri, took to X to comment on the company’s behalf.

In his post, he claimed OpenAI has “no interest in other companies’ trade secrets,” and added that OpenAI remains “focused on building innovative technology that empowers people everywhere.”
