Apple has filed a lawsuit against OpenAI and two former employees, alleging they misused confidential company information related to its hardware development.
The tech giant claims the employees copied sensitive trade secrets before leaving Apple and later used the knowledge while working on OpenAI’s AI hardware initiatives. Apple is seeking damages and a court order to prevent the alleged use of its proprietary information.
OpenAI has denied any wrongdoing and said it will contest the claims. The case adds to growing legal disputes as technology companies race to develop next-generation AI-powered hardware.
