Apple is expanding its investigation into whether OpenAI improperly obtained trade secrets, alleging that more former employees may have taken confidential data. The company made this claim in a recent court filing.
According to techcrunch, Apple’s initial lawsuit accused OpenAI of poaching employees and using Apple’s confidential information to develop their products. This new filing indicates the scope of potential wrongdoing is broader than initially believed. Apple claims additional former staff may have retained or accessed confidential information.
The original complaint centers around allegations that OpenAI knowingly recruited Apple employees with access to proprietary data, specifically those involved in projects like Siri and large language models. The company believes this was a deliberate attempt to circumvent the significant investment and resources required to independently develop similar technologies.
While details of the specific information allegedly taken remain confidential, Apple is pursuing legal action to protect its intellectual property and prevent OpenAI from benefiting from what it considers unfair competition.
