What was said
"At every level, from members of its technical staff to the chief hardware officer and in coordination with business partners, OpenAI has been stealing Apple's trade secrets."
Apple filed a 41-page federal complaint accusing OpenAI of systematically stealing trade secrets to build competing AI hardware with Jony Ive. Two former Apple executives now at OpenAI are named, including chief hardware officer Tang Tan. The lawsuit represents an all-out war between former partners and a battle for the post-smartphone device marketplace, with Google and OpenAI racing to release smart glasses and wearables.
