Apple has filed a trade secrets lawsuit against OpenAI in a case that it says involves misconduct. The complaint alleges involvement extending to OpenAI’s chief hardware officer and claims that many former Apple employees now work at OpenAI. OpenAI has not yet fully responded, but its statements appear cautious. The timing is especially sensitive because OpenAI is reportedly preparing for an IPO.
