TREE NEWS update: Apple said it searched for the file identified by OpenAI but found it nowhere in any Apple system, and that it has strict policies and procedures to prevent new employees from using confidential information from former employers. OpenAI did not respond to Apple’s requests for further information that would have helped its investigation.
Apple Says No Evidence Found to Support OpenAI Claims
The dispute now turns on an evidentiary gap rather than a proven act: Apple says its own search found nothing, while OpenAI's decision not to supply further detail leaves the claim untested. That matters because such allegations are usually resolved through forensic records, not public statements, and the absence of cooperation cuts both ways — it neither confirms nor clears anything. For the broader sector, where talent moves constantly between competing AI labs, the open question is whether this stays a rhetorical exchange or escalates into formal legal or discovery processes that would force the underlying evidence into view.
