Apple sued OpenAI in federal court, alleging that the AI lab stole trade secrets and confidential information to develop consumer hardware, including claims that OpenAI's hardware chief directed job candidates to bring Apple parts to interviews. The lawsuit centers on former Apple employees, including hardware chief Tang Tan and engineer Chang Liu, whom Apple says improperly transferred confidential information about unreleased technologies and processes. The suit seeks damages and injunctions to stop OpenAI from using Apple's trade secrets, marking a sharp deterioration in the companies' relationship since their 2024 partnership integrating ChatGPT into iPhone software.
