OpenAI has strongly denied Apple's lawsuit accusing it of stealing trade secrets by hiring former Apple employees, calling the case "a mess of Apple’s own making." Apple alleges that OpenAI coordinated theft of product designs and processes through ex-Apple staff, but OpenAI argues that many accusations stem from Apple's flawed employee offboarding and that employees have the right to change jobs. The dispute highlights tensions as Apple accelerates its AI efforts while OpenAI plans its own consumer devices, with a judge yet to rule on Apple's request to halt OpenAI's hardware ambitions. This legal battle follows a 2024 partnership where OpenAI's ChatGPT was integrated with Apple's Siri, now powered by Google’s Gemini, underscoring growing competition in AI-driven consumer tech.
