Apple has responded to OpenAI’s allegations that a former employee who moved from Apple to OpenAI took confidential files with him. According to Apple, the employee in question was an engineer on Apple’s Manufacturing Design team, working on iPhones. Apple claims they investigated the matter immediately after OpenAI brought it to their attention on October 9.
On October 12, Apple informed OpenAI that they could not locate any OpenAI confidential information. Apple requested additional information from OpenAI to continue their investigation, but did not receive a response before OpenAI filed the allegations in court. Apple will continue to work with OpenAI to investigate these claims.
