According to TechCrunch, Apple has formally applied for a preliminary injunction against OpenAI, demanding it cease developing AI devices and related products based on Apple’s technology. Apple’s latest investigation revealed that, in addition to the senior systems engineer Chang Liu and chief hardware officer Tang Yew Tan previously named in its complaints, 11 additional former Apple employees may have been involved in the theft of trade secrets, with some reportedly retaining company-issued devices upon departure. Apple has also requested an expedited discovery process targeting OpenAI, its foundation, and io, the device startup co-founded by Jony Ive. In response, OpenAI publicly stated that Apple’s allegations are “based on misinformation and entirely unnecessary,” and countered by accusing Apple of security protocol vulnerabilities that allowed former employees to retain access to its internal systems.
