GermanyApple has filed a lawsuit against OpenAI and two former employees, alleging that they stole trade secrets to benefit OpenAI's entry into consumer hardware. The lawsuit names a former senior system electrical engineer and a former vice president of product design for iPhone and Apple Watch, along with OpenAI Foundation, OpenAI Group PBC, and io Products. Apple claims one defendant used a stolen work laptop to access internal networks and download confidential files, while the other allegedly shared supplier and industry information before leaving. The legal action follows a history of collaboration between Apple and OpenAI, including integrating ChatGPT into Siri, and intensifies competition as OpenAI expands into hardware through acquisitions like io Products.
