OpenAI has asked a federal judge in the US to dismiss Apple's trade secrets lawsuit against them, according to a report by Bloomberg.
The report says that OpenAI believes they have followed "industrywide recruiting standards" and that the Apple lawsuit does not correctly reflect the actions of their employees.
The company, which makes ChatGPT, said in it's filing that "Apple’s complaint is — to borrow its own phrase — ‘rotten to its core", and criticised the company's AI efforts, blaming the lawsuit for Apple's "shortcomings in the market for talent."
This comes almost a month after Apple sued OpenAI, alleging that former Apple employees were sharing trade secrets and the company's upcoming plans, as OpenAI is rumoured to be developing it's own hardware.
The case against OpenAI is notable, as former Apple Chief Design Officer, Jony Ive, is working with the company on upcoming hardware. Ive has not been named in the lawsuit.
