OpenAI challenges Apple's trade secrets lawsuit, citing inadequate security practices

OpenAI filed a motion to dismiss Apple's lawsuit over alleged trade secret theft, arguing that Apple's own security failures undermined its claims. The company highlighted that Apple allowed employees to use personal iCloud accounts for work and failed to revoke access after departures. OpenAI submitted text messages showing an Apple manager remained logged into an employee's personal account after he left to join OpenAI. The AI company contends that Apple's lax information management created confusion about unauthorized access and argues that it seeks to hire talented engineers rather than steal trade secrets. OpenAI also questioned whether Apple clearly identified which specific trade secrets were allegedly taken.
