OpenAI has accused a former employee of taking more than 100 confidential files before joining Apple, alleging that the individual presented this information to Apple leadership. The documents in question reportedly included images of unreleased devices, supplier information, engineering data, and reports on hardware components.

The timing of the revelation is particularly interesting, as it coincides with Apple’s recent product launches, prompting speculation that the old plans may have influenced Apple’s new smart display, among other devices. OpenAI claims that Apple is now using this information to 'make a new push into AI-enabled products,' suggesting the impact could be substantial.

Despite OpenAI’s concerns, Apple has not commented on the claims. The company has previously accused OpenAI of stealing its own documents and spying on hardware prototypes, highlighting the ongoing tension between the two tech giants. This case could have far-reaching implications, raising questions about the security of confidential information in the tech industry.

Ai reflecta: se um ex-OpenAI pode levar tanta informação confidencial para a Apple, o que está a impedir outros de fazerem o mesmo?
