OpenAI is pushing back against Apple's trade-secret lawsuit, arguing that Apple's own internal policies are to blame for any alleged misappropriation of trade secrets. OpenAI claims that Apple's encouragement of employees to use personal iCloud accounts for work documents, coupled with swift dismissals, creates a situation where data transfer is difficult and unavoidable. The company further suggests Apple's suit is an attempt to hinder a competitor and discourage employee departures, citing California law that permits employees to move freely between rival companies.
