Apple shares ‘shocking evidence’ against former employee accused of stealing company data for OpenAI

Apple has filed a lawsuit against OpenAI, alleging that former employee Chang Liu stole trade secrets and used confidential Apple data in his work at OpenAI. According to Apple's filing, Liu accessed Apple's confidential circuit schematics and utilized a tool similar to an internal Apple engineering application. Apple claims that Liu, who now works at OpenAI, collaborated with another OpenAI employee, Yu-Ting Peng, to destroy evidence in June when he became aware of Apple's investigation. OpenAI has previously defended Liu, stating that he accessed Apple files after leaving the company to assist former colleagues and blaming Apple's failure to properly manage system access. Apple is seeking a preliminary injunction to block OpenAI from developing hardware based on its technology and is requesting expedited discovery due to concerns that more former employees may be involved.
