OpenAI is now accusing a former employee of taking confidential files about its unreleased AI hardware to Apple. According to a new court filing, the employee allegedly sent over 100 highly confidential files to personal accounts before returning to Apple, including images of an unreleased OpenAI device, engineering details, and supplier information. It’s crazy that this is just after the Saudi national was called spying! OpenAI claims the employee then gave a presentation about its product plans to Apple’s senior leadership and is raising concerns that this information could be influencing Apple’s new AI hardware, including HomeView. Apple denies finding any evidence supporting these allegations. The cherry on top is this is all happening while Apple is separately suing OpenAI over allegations that former Apple employees took its own trade secrets.
