Apple Seeks Injunction, Alleges More Ex-Employees Shared Data with OpenAI

Apple has asked a court for a preliminary injunction in its trade-secrets lawsuit against OpenAI, aiming to stop the company from developing AI devices or products based on Apple technology. In a new filing Apple requested expedited discovery from accused OpenAI employees Chang Liu and Tang Yew Tan, OpenAI (and its foundation), and io, the device startup co-founded by Jony Ive. Apple says its investigation indicates 11 additional former Apple employees may have been witnesses or involved, and alleges former employees took screenshots or discussed proprietary information before joining OpenAI. OpenAI publicly denied the claims, calling the injunction request false and unnecessary.
