OpenAI has fired back at Apple's trade secrets lawsuit, calling it "careless, aggressive and oddly personal" and denying that it possesses or wants any of Apple's confidential information. The dispute stems from Apple's claim that OpenAI stole hardware designs and that over 400 former Apple employees now work at the AI company, with two individuals specifically accused of accessing or seeking out proprietary information. The conflict reflects growing rivalry between the two firms as OpenAI moves into consumer hardware and Apple pursues its own AI ambitions.
