苹果起诉OpenAI窃取商业机密
战略概览
- 01.苹果于2026年7月10日向加利福尼亚北区美国地方法院提起诉讼,指控OpenAI在消费硬件业务推进过程中存在商业秘密盗用和违约行为,并指责该公司在各个层面窃取苹果的机密信息。
- 02.诉状中列明了OpenAI、其由乔尼·艾夫(Jony Ive)领导的硬件部门io Products,以及两名现就职于OpenAI的前苹果员工——首席硬件官唐(叶)·谭(Tang Tan)和技术人员刘畅(Chang Liu)——并称OpenAI的硬件业务“从核心起就已腐败”。
- 03.苹果指控刘畅离职后未归还苹果笔记本电脑,并利用系统漏洞访问苹果云存储,在离职后下载了数十份机密硬件文件;而唐·谭则被指在招聘过程中使用苹果项目代号,并要求应聘者携带‘实物部件’参加面试展示。
- 04.OpenAI否认了所有指控,表示对其他公司的商业秘密毫无兴趣;与此同时,该诉讼在X平台上重新点燃了萨姆·阿尔特曼(Sam Altman)与埃隆·马斯克(Elon Musk)之间的公开‘骗局’争执,正值双方模型产品相继发布之际。
