Apple has sued OpenAI for alleged trade secret theft, with the presiding judge stating there is a 'high likelihood' of granting Apple's request for an injunction to prohibit former Apple employees now working at OpenAI from using Apple's proprietary information. The injunction would require OpenAI to immediately cease using the allegedly stolen trade secrets, which Apple accuses OpenAI of leveraging to advance the development of future devices that compete with Apple. OpenAI denies the allegations, claiming Apple's move is intended to restrict employee mobility, and has countered by accusing a former Apple employee of sending confidential files related to unreleased OpenAI devices to a personal account.
