On October 14, local time, OpenAI agreed not to use confidential information that Apple allegedly took away by former employees during the trade secrets lawsuit with Apple. According to the agreement reached between the two parties, OpenAI must collect forensic images of 14 employees' devices, and U.S. District Court Judge Edward Davila for the Northern District of California will have the power to execute the agreement. Earlier, the judge said it is likely to support Apple and issue a ban on OpenAI. The agreement basically satisfies Apple's demand to prevent its confidential information from being used for competitive technology development. Apple sued OpenAI and related personnel in July of this year, accusing it of obtaining confidential information relating to product design, manufacturing, component technology, testing methods, and supply chains to push OpenAI into the consumer hardware market. OpenAI denied the accusations, saying it had no intention of using Apple trade secrets, and said that Apple was trying to restrict employees from changing jobs.
