Apple has filed a lawsuit against OpenAI, accusing the company and its head of hardware of orchestrating a coordinated campaign to steal trade secrets to advance a series of AI devices, according to reports.
Apple has filed a federal lawsuit against OpenAI, alleging that the company and its head of hardware ran a coordinated campaign to steal trade secrets and proprietary technology to accelerate the development of a new series of AI-powered devices. The legal action, reported late Friday, did not specify which OpenAI hardware executive was named. The complaint is part of a broader wave of litigation among tech giants over intellectual property tied to artificial intelligence, though no direct link to any single previous case has been established. Further details on the specific trade secrets or devices involved were not immediately available.
