Apple is escalating its lawsuit against OpenAI.
Forensic analysis of an Apple-issued MacBook kept by former engineer Chang Liu found evidence that he downloaded confidential Apple files after leaving the company and used them in his work at OpenAI.
Apple alleges Liu sent instructions for destroying evidence to an OpenAI colleague after learning of Apple's internal investigation.
Apple says others at OpenAI were aware of Liu's unauthorized access to Apple's cloud storage.
Apple is pushing for expedited discovery. OpenAI has called the lawsuit "meritless" and asked the court to dismiss it.
