OpenAI has disputed allegations made by Apple in a trade secret lawsuit, stating it is unaware of evidence supporting Apple's claims. Apple filed the lawsuit alleging that OpenAI employees who previously worked at Apple engaged in efforts to obtain the company's confidential information and intellectual property, with specific allegations against OpenAI's Chief Hardware Officer and other former Apple veterans. Apple claims its investigation found evidence that OpenAI used the company's confidential information while developing its own hardware product, reportedly a mobile, screen-free smart speaker being built with input from several former Apple engineers. OpenAI responded that it has no interest in other companies' trade secrets and remains focused on building innovative technology.
