Apple’s lawsuit
Apple has taken legal action against OpenAI in California federal court. The company alleges that OpenAI misappropriated its trade secrets, and that this is not a single incident, but part of an organized pattern.
names of former employees
Apple has focused on two of its former employees. The first person is Tang Tan, who played a key role in the design of the iPhone, Apple Watch and iPod. Currently, he serves as the Chief Hardware Officer at OpenAI.
The second person is Changyu Liu, who was an electrical engineer at Apple. The company says Liu was responsible for Apple’s sensitive product development efforts before leaving the job earlier this year.
details of allegations
Apple claims that Chang Liu accessed and downloaded several confidential hardware files before leaving the company.
The company also said that Tang Tan asked some Apple employees who interviewed at OpenAI to bring real hardware parts.
Apple says that all this was part of its attempt to access confidential technical information.
Hardware development of OpenAI
However, OpenAI has not yet shared detailed information about the new hardware product. But the company has indicated that it is working on AI devices that could give people the experience of interacting with AI in a different way than traditional screens and interfaces.
earlier conversation
This is not the first time that Apple has contacted OpenAI. Apple had also expressed its concerns in February, but received no response from OpenAI. Subsequently, Apple approached the court and decided to take all necessary legal steps to protect its innovations and intellectual property.
OpenAI’s response
OpenAI has not yet given any official response to these allegations. However, Apple has made it clear that it is committed to protecting the hard work, research and technological innovations of its employees.
