OpenAI accuses ex-employee of leaking unreleased AI device plans to Apple

OpenAI has accused a former employee of downloading over 100 confidential files about an unreleased device and sharing the plans with Apple.

• OpenAI alleged the former employee downloaded over 100 confidential files and shared its product plans with Apple's senior leadership.
• The accusation came in the trade secrets lawsuit Apple brought against OpenAI in July and delayed a hearing scheduled for Wednesday.
• Apple said it found no evidence to support the allegations and has policies against new employees using former employers' confidential information.
• US District Court Judge Edward Davila has granted Apple early access to digital files from OpenAI in the lawsuit.
