OpenAI, the creator of ChatGPT, claims their former employee, who now works for Apple, leaked confidential information about an unreleased product to Apple's executives. The employee allegedly shared over 100 files containing details about the product to a personal account, followed by a presentation about the same product to senior Apple leaders.

This incident is detailed in a recent lawsuit filed by OpenAI in a US federal court in San Jose, California. Apple is currently developing AI products of its own, according to OpenAI, which cites the recent release of Apple’s HomeView product as evidence. OpenAI's legal team has included Harvey Richards, known for his work with children's rights, to defend against what they call Apple's "I’m rubber, you’re glue" defense strategy.
