OpenAI has hit back at Apple's trade secrets lawsuit, accusing the tech giant of relying on inaccurate allegations, flawed internal procedures, and even emailing the wrong person before filing suit. In a lengthy blog post titled 'Apple Is Getting This Wrong,' the ChatGPT developer described the lawsuit as 'careless, aggressive, and oddly personal,' while firmly denying that it ever sought or used Apple's confidential information.
The statement is OpenAI's strongest response yet since Apple sued the AI company in July alongside former employees Chang Liu and Tang Yew Tan, alleging they misused sensitive company information after leaving to join OpenAI.
