Apple has asked a US judge for a preliminary injunction against two former employees and OpenAI, seeking to bar them from accessing, acquiring, using, or disclosing confidential information. According to Reuters, Apple made the request in a filing.
The lawsuit appears to be related to allegations that OpenAI stole trade secrets from Apple, with OpenAI publishing a detailed response to Apple's claims in a blog post. In the post, OpenAI characterized the lawsuit as "careless, aggressive, and oddly personal".
Separately, a report from AppleInsider suggests that some former Apple employees may have retained access to confidential files through their personal iCloud accounts after leaving the company. Over half a dozen former employees reportedly told The Information that documents shared with them during their employment remained accessible after Apple cut off most of their corporate access.
