OpenAI pushes back on Apple theft lawsuit, denies trade secrets allegations

OpenAI has said it’s “not aware of any evidence” that an Apple Inc lawsuit alleging trade-secret theft has merit.

According to a Bloomberg report, the latest remarks come four days after Apple filed the suit, which claimed that OpenAI took proprietary technology to help develop its own new family of artificial intelligence-powered devices.

“While we take these allegations seriously, we’re not aware of any evidence that this complaint has merit,” OpenAI said in the statement. “We believe in fair competition and allowing people the freedom to work wherever they choose, and we’re focused on building innovative technology that empowers people everywhere.”
