Apple Sues OpenAI Over Alleged Misuse of Trade Secrets

Apple has asked a US judge to issue a preliminary injunction against OpenAI and two former employees, alleging that they have misused trade secrets related to AI hardware.

The lawsuit claims that the individuals in question, who were previously employed by Apple, took confidential information with them when they left the company to work at OpenAI.

Apple alleges that this information is being used for OpenAI's own AI hardware development, which could potentially give the company an unfair competitive advantage.

The iPhone maker has requested a preliminary injunction to prevent OpenAI and the two former employees from accessing or using the alleged trade secrets.
