Apple and OpenAI AI trade secrets case goes to trial.

Apple has sued OpenAI, accusing the AI company of conspiring to steal proprietary information about its upcoming products, as the two sides prepare for the first court hearing in this high-stakes lawsuit. Wednesday's hearing has two core issues: Apple's request for a court injunction requiring OpenAI to immediately stop using the allegedly stolen trade secrets, and OpenAI's motion seeking to have Apple's lawsuit dismissed entirely. Although the two sides reached a partnership two years ago to integrate ChatGPT into Apple's software, the two companies have been at odds for months. The dispute erupted against the backdrop of hundreds of Apple employees jumping ship to OpenAI. OpenAI is currently targeting a valuation of $1.4 trillion and preparing for an IPO, and this lawsuit casts a shadow over the startup.
