Multiple reports say OpenAI is exploring legal options against Apple related to their AI partnership. Bloomberg, as cited by several outlets, reports that OpenAI has enlisted an outside law firm to evaluate its options and determine whether legal steps are warranted. The Hindu reports that, according to a source, OpenAI initially sought to resolve issues with Apple without litigation, but its lawyers are actively working with an external legal firm on a range of possible approaches.
TechRadar and The Next Web describe the partnership as becoming “fractious,” and both point to the possibility that OpenAI could send Apple a formal notice alleging breach of contract as one course of action. PYMNTS similarly reports that OpenAI is considering a potential lawsuit and other steps, including a breach-of-contract notice.
None of the sources indicate that a lawsuit has been filed. The reports describe deliberations and preparation of options rather than confirmed legal proceedings.
