Apple’s escalationApple’s latest court filing seeks a preliminary injunction against OpenAI, former Apple engineer Chang Liu, former Apple executive Tang Tan, and io Products, OpenAI’s hardware arm. According to Apple’s filing, its investigation has identified 11 additional former Apple employees who may have information relevant to the case. Advertisement“Apple will be irreparably harmed absent a preliminary injunction,” the company argued in its court filing. OpenAI argues the conversations demonstrate that Apple employees initiated the requests. The irreversible risk for Apple is that no preliminary injunction can force a person to unlearn what they already know.
