The reporting

A neutral summary of the key facts most sources agree on, drawn from reporting across the political spectrum.

Apple sued OpenAI in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California on Friday, alleging the ChatGPT maker misappropriated trade secrets to develop consumer AI hardware. The complaint names OpenAI, io Products, Chief Hardware Officer Tang Tan and technical staffer Chang Liu, both former Apple employees. Apple alleges OpenAI recruited Apple staff and directed candidates to bring confidential prototypes, engineering artifacts, hardware components, product designs, manufacturing information and supply-chain details to interviews. The suit brings trade-secret misappropriation and breach-of-contract claims and seeks to stop use of the information.
