OpenAI drags Apple’s lawsuit into the court of public opinion
OpenAI has publicly challenged Apple's lawsuit accusing the company of stealing trade secrets through former employees. OpenAI released internal communications to argue that Apple's claims are aggressive and unfounded, attempting to sway public opinion.
Why it matters
This high-profile legal battle highlights the intense competition for talent and intellectual property in the AI sector.
Apple’s legal battle against OpenAI just got messier now that the ChatGPT-maker has publicly aired receipts to counter Apple’s version of events. In a blog post published overnight titled “Apple is getting this wrong,” OpenAI said that Apple’s lawsuit accusing it of stealing trade secrets is “careless, aggressive, and oddly personal,” sharing iMessage and email exchanges to challenge allegations central to the case.
This isn’t a legal response from OpenAI, but it’s an attempt to sway the court of public opinion by poking contradictions into Apple’s case using cherry-picked communications.
