OpenAI said on July 14, local time, that there is no evidence that Apple's trade secret lawsuit has factual basis. OpenAI said the company takes the allegations seriously, but believes in fair competition and the free flow of talent, and will continue to focus on developing its own innovative technology. Apple sued OpenAI last week, accusing its hardware team of obtaining trade secrets involving AI hardware devices by recruiting former Apple employees, and alleging that some employees illegally obtained internal engineering data before leaving their jobs to support OpenAI's next-generation AI hardware research and development. OpenAI has stated that it is “not interested” in other companies' trade secrets and will focus on independent research and development.
