Falcon powers – Apple, which is expanding into AI, announced a partnership with the ChatGPT maker on Monday
Elon Musk has warned that he will ban Apple devices at his companies if the iPhone maker integrates OpenAI’s artificial intelligence software at the operating system level, calling it a security breach.
His remarks came after Apple on Monday announced a much-anticipated partnership with OpenAI, the company behind the generative AI tool ChatGPT.
ChatGPT, which will be integrated with Siri, will also be available free of charge in iOS 18 and macOS Sequoia – the next version of the desktop operating system – this year, Apple said at its annual developers conference.
“If Apple integrates OpenAI at the OS level, then Apple devices will be banned at my companies. That is an unacceptable security violation,” Mr Musk said on X, the social media platform he owns.
The businessman, who is also the chief executive of electric vehicle maker Tesla and SpaceX, said that visitors “will have to check their Apple devices at the door, where they will be stored in a Faraday cage”.
Apple on Monday also announced the launch of its generative AI known as Apple Intelligence, which will soon be introduced across its ecosystem.
The company stressed that user data will be safe and that its AI has been built “with privacy from the ground up”.
“All of this goes beyond artificial intelligence. It’s personal intelligence and it’s the next big step for Apple,” chief executive Tim Cook said at the conference.
