What was said
"Apple alleges that OpenAI's chief hardware officer, Tang Tan, who is a former Apple vice president, has directed Apple employees interviewing at OpenAI to share Apple secrets as part of the interviewing process. He has directed job candidates still working at Apple to bring actual parts from Apple to their interviews for show-and-tell sessions."
Apple filed a federal lawsuit alleging OpenAI systematically stole trade secrets after acquiring Jony Ive's hardware startup for $6.4 billion. The suit claims OpenAI's former Apple VP Tang Tan instructed job candidates to bring proprietary Apple parts to interviews and provided instructions on evading Apple's security systems. This follows OpenAI's announcement to enter the hardware industry competing with iPhone.
