OpenAI 反击苹果商业机密诉讼
OpenAI pushed back Tuesday against allegations made by Apple in a trade secret lawsuit, suggesting the complaint lacks merit. OpenAI 周二对苹果在商业机密诉讼中提出的指控进行了反击，暗示该诉讼缺乏事实依据。
“While we take these allegations seriously, we’re not aware of any evidence that this complaint has merit,” OpenAI said in a statement, first shared by Bloomberg reporter Ed Ludlow on X. “We believe in fair competition and allowing people the freedom to work wherever they choose, and we’re focused on building innovative technology that empowers people everywhere.” “虽然我们认真对待这些指控，但我们并未发现任何证据表明该诉讼具有法律依据，”OpenAI 在一份声明中表示，该声明最初由彭博社记者 Ed Ludlow 在 X 上发布。“我们坚信公平竞争，支持人们自由选择工作地点，我们专注于构建能够赋能全球每个人的创新技术。”
The statement comes several days since Apple filed a lawsuit against the AI lab, alleging that OpenAI employees, who previously worked at the iPhone maker, engaged in a coordinated effort to obtain confidential information and intellectual property. 这份声明是在苹果对该人工智能实验室提起诉讼几天后发布的。苹果指控曾在该公司工作过的 OpenAI 员工协同行动，窃取其机密信息和知识产权。
The 41-page complaint, filed Friday in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, contains a string of allegations against OpenAI leadership, including Chief Hardware Officer Tang Tan. Before joining OpenAI, Tan was a veteran at Apple, where he worked for 24 years and held top positions, including vice president of product design for the iPhone and Apple Watch. 这份长达 41 页的诉状于周五提交至美国加利福尼亚北区联邦地区法院，其中包含了一系列针对 OpenAI 高层的指控，其中包括首席硬件官唐·坦（Tang Tan）。在加入 OpenAI 之前，唐·坦是苹果的资深员工，他在那里工作了 24 年，并担任过包括 iPhone 和 Apple Watch 产品设计副总裁在内的重要职务。
This is the first time OpenAI commented on the case itself. In its initial statement hours after Apple filed its lawsuit, it proclaimed a lack of interest in technology developed by other companies telling TechCrunch: “We have no interest in other companies’ trade secrets. We remain focused on building innovative technology that empowers people everywhere.” 这是 OpenAI 首次就案件本身发表评论。在苹果提起诉讼后的几个小时内，OpenAI 曾发表初步声明，声称对其他公司开发的技术不感兴趣，并告诉 TechCrunch：“我们对其他公司的商业机密没有兴趣。我们依然专注于构建能够赋能全球每个人的创新技术。”
Apple claims in its lawsuit that its internal investigation uncovered evidence that OpenAI and its partners used the company’s confidential information as it develops its own hardware product. Reports, along with OpenAI’s recent acquisition of Jony Ive’s startup io, suggest the company is working on a device that could directly compete with Apple’s business. Bloomberg reported on Tuesday that OpenAI is working on a mobile, screen-free smart speaker. 苹果在诉讼中声称，其内部调查发现证据表明，OpenAI 及其合作伙伴在开发自有硬件产品时使用了苹果的机密信息。相关报道以及 OpenAI 最近收购 Jony Ive 的初创公司 io 的举动表明，该公司正在研发一款可能直接与苹果业务竞争的设备。彭博社周二报道称，OpenAI 正在开发一款便携式、无屏幕的智能音箱。
