US-Gericht: Der Gegner heißt OpenAI: Juristische Schlammschlacht um Apples Geheimnisse
Apple wirft OpenAI vor, gezielt Insiderwissen abgeschöpft zu haben. Doch die Gerichtsakten erzählen eine andere Geschichte – und bringen Apple-Chef John Ternus zur Unzeit unter Druck.
San Francisco - On the evening of January 22nd, a manager accompanied former Apple engineer Chang Liu from the Cupertino headquarters. Liu had resigned earlier that morning to join the startup OpenAI, a leading developer of artificial intelligence (AI) at the time. Employees in Silicon Valley typically have to leave the company on the same day as their resignation to prevent operational secrets from falling into the hands of competitors, a practice known as "walking out."
However, Liu did not have time to transfer his work. He continued to log into his personal iCloud account from the laptops he returned, allowing his supervisor to secure the work files. The files were numerous, with court documents estimating their volume at 200 gigabytes. According to the source, Liu spent a week copying files.
"The file transfer was really a challenge," he wrote to his former colleague. Liu asked him to at least log out of his iMessage account, Apple's SMS service, otherwise messages from his new employer would appear on his old work computer.
