Summary

In a court filing ahead of a Wednesday case management conference, OpenAI alleged a former employee, who worked at Apple before and after a six-month stint at OpenAI, sent over 100 confidential files about an unreleased OpenAI device to his personal accounts, some on his last day, June 2. OpenAI also alleged he briefed senior Apple executives on its product plans. Apple denied the accusation. The claim arose within Apple's lawsuit accusing OpenAI of stealing its trade secrets by poaching two former Apple employees who breached their IP agreements.
