According to reports, the legal dispute between Apple and OpenAI has escalated. In court documents filed on August 31, Apple alleged that OpenAI has 'actively destroyed key evidence' and accused Chang Liu, a former Apple engineer who joined OpenAI, of downloading Apple's confidential circuit schematics and using them in his work at OpenAI. Apple's move aims to support its motion to expedite pre-trial fact-finding. Previously, Apple had accused OpenAI of stealing trade secrets, while OpenAI has requested the court to dismiss the case.
