OpenAI has filed legal documents accusing a former employee, now hired by Apple, of stealing more than 100 confidential files related to an unreleased product. According to the court filings, the ex-employee allegedly transferred the files to a personal account before presenting the product to Apple's senior leadership.
Apple responded to the allegations, stating it has found no evidence supporting OpenAI's claims. The company emphasized that it has implemented measures to prevent the use of confidential information from previous employers. Reuters first reported the details of the dispute.
The case highlights growing tensions between AI companies over intellectual property protection and employee mobility in the competitive artificial intelligence sector.
