Elon Musk said he would ban Apple devices in his companies if the iPhone manufacturer integrates OpenAI products at the operating system level. The billionaire said this wrote in a series of posts on X.
«If Apple integrates OpenAI at the OS level, then Apple devices will be banned from my companies. This is an unacceptable security breach».
«And visitors will have to check their Apple devices at the entrance, where they will be stored in a Faraday cage».
«It’s absurd that Apple is not smart enough to create its own AI, but somehow is able to guarantee that OpenAI will protect your security and privacy!»
«Apple has no idea what’s really going on when they hand over your data to OpenAI. They are selling you for a song».
Earlier, Apple announced a number of artificial intelligence features in its programs, as well as partnership with OpenAI to implement ChatGPT on devices. Apple said it has built artificial intelligence with privacy «at its core and will use a combination of on-device processing and cloud computing to deliver these features.
In early March Elon Musk has filed a lawsuit against OpenAI, which he co-founded in 2015, saying that the company had abandoned its original mission of developing artificial intelligence for the benefit of humanity, not for profit. He also founded his own company, xAI, to challenge OpenAI and create an alternative to ChatGPT. During the last funding round, xAI was valued at $24 billion and raised $6 billion investments.
