About this episode

The people, companies and trends shaping the global economy. Watch Carol and Tim LIVE every day on YouTube: http://bit.ly/3vTiACF . Apple has filed a lawsuit against OpenAI, alleging that the company systematically stole its intellectual property by asking former Apple employees to bring information about unreleased products. Apple is seeking monetary damages and an order requiring OpenAI to halt the alleged conduct and destroy any proprietary materials, which could disrupt OpenAI's device ambitions and slow its recruiting pipeline. The lawsuit may cause OpenAI to become more cautious, create more red tape, and slow development, potentially forcing the company to redesign its products if Apple proves that OpenAI incorporated its trade secrets into upcoming devices. For more, Carol Massar and Tim Stenovec speak with Mark Gurman, Bloomberg News Managing Editor for Global Consumer Tech See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
