OpenAI poached over 400 employees from Apple to work on AI projects, and two were called out in a trade secret theft lawsuit in July. Apple has suggested the case needs urgent attention, and that every delay causes more harm.
According to a new filing from Apple on Monday, the MacBook used by Chang Liu has a lot of evidence that has allegedly been ignored by defendants so far. OpenAI has been pushing back on Apple’s attempts for expedited discovery, which Apple now asserts could be due to an active attempt to destroy evidence.
