Apple sues OpenAI for poaching — and iCloud just became Exhibit A
openai asked a court to dismiss apple's trade secret lawsuit, arguing apple's weak security—like allowing personal iclouds—invalidates its claims.
openai filed a motion to dismiss apple's trade secret lawsuit, claiming the alleged secrets were not legally protected because apple allowed employees to use personal icloud accounts and failed to revoke access after departure. text messages submitted as evidence show an apple manager remained logged into a former employee's personal account after they left for openai. openai contends the lawsuit is a pretext to suppress competition in ai hardware and cover for apple's failures to retain talent.
