During its yearly developer conference in California on Monday, the tech giant revealed the much-awaited news that AI will be making its way into its products.
Known as Apple Intelligence, it is a set of capabilities that includes enhanced Siri speech assistance along with text and image production.
The company’s phones will be equipped with ChatGPT, which is already widely used, as support for this.
But Elon Musk, the owner of Tesla and X and a longstanding relationship with OpenAI, the company that owns ChatGPT, threatened to outlaw iPhones across all of his businesses in response to the change.
Musk and OpenAI don’t get along well; although he founded the firm, he has since turned against it and charged it with not living up to its original ideals.
With the help of Apple’s new AI system, Siri will be redesigned and able to gather data from all of the user’s apps.
The billionaire South African, however, called the move a “unacceptable security violation” and threatened to ban Apple products from his firms if OpenAI was incorporated at the operating system level.
Without providing any proof, he accused the Silicon Valley business of giving OpenAI user data.
