Apple, OpenAI legal fight keeps escalating. Here's how we got here
TL;DR
Apple and OpenAI are escalating their legal fight over allegations that the ChatGPT maker used Apple employees to obtain closely guarded hardware secrets. Why it matters: If the case makes it to the discovery process, two of the most secretive companies in tech could be forced to reveal sensitive information about how they recruit talent, develop hardware and protect confidential information.
Nauti's Take
The most interesting part of this case is the possible discovery phase, which could expose how two unusually secretive companies recruit talent and build hardware. The risk falls on the people moving between them, since litigation like this makes job changes in AI hardware legally delicate.
Anyone recruiting or switching in that space should read confidentiality and non compete clauses very carefully.
