Elon Musk, the founder of both Tesla and SpaceX, has voiced his criticism of the recently announced agreement between Apple and artificial intelligence firm OpenAI. Musk expressed concerns about data security and suggested that this could lead to a ban on the use of iPhones in his companies.
Musk took to his social media platform X, which he also owns, to express his dissatisfaction with the deal. He accused Apple of betrayal and stated that they have no idea what will happen once they give data to OpenAI. Meanwhile, Apple CEO Tim Cook believes that the new version of iOS 18 operating system featuring Apple Intelligence will be essential in products that play a vital role in people’s lives.
The collaboration between Apple and OpenAI led to the creation of Apple Intelligence, a system designed to optimize the use of Apple devices through generative artificial intelligence. The updated version of Siri was also included in this new system. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman expressed excitement about this partnership and said that ChatGPT, their chatbot, would be integrated into Apple devices later in the year. Despite positive feedback on this collaboration, Musk’s criticism highlights ongoing debates about data security and potential risks associated with artificial intelligence technologies.
