Apple sues OpenAI, two former employees for trade secrets theft
Apple says OpenAI used former employees to obtain confidential product data as the company seeks to block further use of the material and recover damages.
- On Friday, Apple filed a lawsuit against OpenAI in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, alleging the artificial intelligence lab engaged in trade secret theft to develop its own consumer hardware.
- Relations between the companies chilled after OpenAI purchased IO Products for $6.4 billion last year, marking the lab's direct competition with Apple's consumer electronics business.
- OpenAI Chief Hardware Officer Tang Tan allegedly directed job candidates to bring 'actual parts' from Apple to interviews for "'show and tell' sessions in which he and his team at OpenAI can elicit still more Apple confidential information," Apple said in the filing.
- Apple is asking the court to bar OpenAI from using or disclosing its trade secrets and require the company to return confidential materials and preserve evidence related to the case.
- While ChatGPT remains integrated into Apple Intelligence, Apple is shifting its Siri assistant to Google's Gemini AI models, though the company did not comment on whether the lawsuit affects the ongoing partnership.
