CTOnews.com, April 20 (Reuters)-Tesla has reached a settlement with its former engineer, Alexander Yatskov, who was accused of stealing trade secrets related to Tesla's AI training supercomputer Dojo. The two sides filed a joint document in federal court in San Francisco on Wednesday, saying the terms of the settlement were confidential, but that Yatskov would pay a sum to the company.

Tesla, a thermal design engineer working on Dojo and Dojo, a supercomputer, said in his lawsuit that Dojo would "help solve some difficult engineering problems, such as autonomous driving". The company said it hired Yatskov in January last year, and he resigned after he was put on administrative leave in May. Tesla sued Yatskov that month, saying he kept confidential information about Dojo on his personal computer. The lawsuit also alleges that Yatskov provided Tesla with a "fake" computer for investigation to "cover his tracks".

Yatskov had previously told the court that Tesla filed a lawsuit on his last day at work and that he returned the company's materials after leaving office. According to Wednesday's documents, Yatskov admitted that during his employment, he transferred Tesla's confidential information to his personal computer, but said it was only for the purpose of the work and tried to delete it after the work was finished.

In August last year, a federal judge in San Francisco sent the case back to arbitration, rejecting Yatskov's request to keep him in federal court to publicly refute Tesla's charges, which the engineer called "humiliating."

As of CTOnews.com 's release, representatives of both sides did not respond to media requests for comment.
