Apple sues OpenAI, its employees claiming theft of trade secrets

Apple has filed a federal lawsuit against OpenAI, two of its employees, and the design firm io Products, alleging that they stole trade secrets related to Apple's product development. The lawsuit claims that former Apple employees who joined OpenAI emailed themselves internal information, enabling OpenAI to gain insights into Apple's confidential projects, partnerships, and unreleased products. OpenAI denied the allegations, stating it has no interest in other companies' trade secrets and is focused on developing innovative technology. Apple also accused OpenAI of attempting to extract additional information from current Apple employees during job interviews, including asking candidates to bring physical components from Apple as props. The lawsuit highlights tensions between Apple and OpenAI, particularly after Apple shifted some AI features to Google's Gemini model and as OpenAI prepares to launch its first hardware product.
