Apple has filed a lawsuit against OpenAI, alleging that the AI company stole trade secrets related to its unreleased technologies and consumer hardware projects. The lawsuit, filed in a U.S. federal court, claims OpenAI orchestrated efforts to poach Apple employees and obtain confidential information, including through 'show and tell' sessions where employees were asked to bring physical components like batteries and circuit boards.
