OpenAI asked a judge to dismiss Apple’s lawsuit accusing the company of stealing trade secrets. OpenAI Chief Hardware Officer Tang Tan was acting in accordance with industry recruiting standards when interviewing Apple employees, according to the filing. Apple filed its lawsuit last month, alleging that Tan and Liu stole trade secrets to support the development of devices at OpenAI. The suit alleged Tan emailed himself information about Apple’s suppliers and asked Apple employees to bring parts with them when interviewing for jobs with OpenAI. Roughly 400 former Apple employees now work at OpenAI.
