OpenAI calls out Apple's 'careless, aggressive and oddly personal lawsuit' in latest blog post
Summary
OpenAI has released a blog post titled "Apple is getting this wrong" to defend itself against a lawsuit filed by Apple. The lawsuit alleges that two former Apple employees, Chang Liu and Tang Tan, took trade secrets to OpenAI. OpenAI disputes these claims, arguing that the legal action is based on false information and that Apple has failed to properly manage system access for departing employees.
OpenAI highlights several inaccuracies in Apple's legal claims, including errors regarding previous contact attempts and the identity of the person contacted. The AI company maintains that it has no interest in Apple's trade secrets and expressed frustration that Apple chose litigation rather than direct communication to resolve the matter. OpenAI stated they would have been happy to clarify the situation had Apple reached out before filing.
This public response is seen as a strategic move to garner public support and pressure Apple. While Apple has not yet responded to the blog post, the move is notable as Apple typically avoids public commentary on ongoing legal proceedings.
