Apple has struck a deal with OpenAI, the artificial intelligence company run by Sam Altman, to include ChatGPT technology in the novel iOS 18 operating system for iPhones. The two are expected to go public at WWDC. However, reaching this partnership was not simple for either Apple or OpenAI. The Information reports that some directors of both companies did not like the idea. Microsoft, which invests money in and cooperates with OpenAI, was also concerned.
What the deal brings to Apple As part of the deal, Apple engineers are integrating ChatGPT with Siri, the digital assistant on iPhones. It stands to reason that this will make Siri much smarter and better at understanding and answering hard questions, which it currently can’t do very well. This would also aid Siri speak in a way that sounds more like a real person.
We don’t know yet how the testing is going at Apple, but if it’s successful, Siri could become a lot more helpful for people using iPhones.
But when Siri says something that comes from ChatGPT, Apple wants people to know it’s ChatGPT and not just Siri speaking, so there’s no confusion. This may be due to the hallucination problem of generative AI chatbots such as ChatGPT and others, which sometimes causes these chatbots to present incorrect information.
Apple’s AI chief didn’t like the idea of including ChatGPT in SiriOpenAI wasn’t the only choice for Apple, the iPhone maker also negotiated deals with Google, but ultimately Altman & Co. I took it home. Signing this agreement was a challenge for both Apple and OpenAI due to internal issues and disagreements within the companies.
Apple executives met with OpenAI last year during the company’s annual developer conference. While there is no word on the talks discussed, the two companies have reached an agreement. Although, according to the report, the person responsible for artificial intelligence, John Giannandrea, did not want to add another chatbot. Internal Chaos at OpenAI The Partnership also faced challenges due to internal turmoil at OpenAI. At OpenAI, Helen Toner, who was once part of the company’s watchdog group, claims that Sam Altman, the head of OpenAI, repeatedly lied to them. He says he didn’t tell them vital things, like ChatGPT’s planned November 2022 launch.
Toner also claims that Altman hid information, spoke untruths about what was happening at the company and even provided misinformation about how OpenAI keeps its artificial intelligence secure. Apple wants to make sure of this, which is why it is reportedly creating a “black box” in which user data will be stored to which no employee, not even its own, will have access.
Microsoft CEO concerned about OpenAI and Apple deal The report also said that Microsoft, which has its own partnership with OpenAI, was concerned about the deal between Apple and the artificial intelligence company. Microsoft’s technology powers OpenAI’s ChatGPT, and in return, OpenAI uses Microsoft’s data centers.
CEO Satya Nadella recently met with OpenAI’s Sam Altman to discuss these concerns, particularly about the strain on Microsoft’s servers as millions of iPhone and iPad users begin using OpenAI-powered features. Microsoft also demanded a share of OpenAI’s future profits in exchange for its $13 billion investment. The value of the deal between OpenAI and Apple remains undisclosed.
While Microsoft may ultimately benefit financially from the Apple-OpenAI partnership, it also means that Apple’s AI capabilities will now directly compete with Microsoft’s offerings. This puts Microsoft in a convoluted position as it balances the potential for revenue growth with the risk of strengthening its main rival in the rapidly growing field of artificial intelligence.
Apple will talk about its artificial intelligence plans and its deal with OpenAI during a major event scheduled for June 10. Some people think this could be very good for Apple and make them a lot of money. Others are worried because Apple cares deeply about privacy, but artificial intelligence needs a lot of user data to work.
