Elon Musk recently threatened to ban Apple devices from his companies due to their partnership with OpenAI. Here’s what happened: Apple announced an integration with OpenAI at its annual developers conference, allowing its voice assistant Siri to tap into OpenAI’s generative chatbot, ChatGPT.
Users will be asked for permission, and their requests and information will not be logged however, Musk expressed concerns about user data protection, calling the collaboration “an unacceptable security violation.” He specifically mentioned that Apple devices would be banned if the integration occurred at the operating system level. Musk’s stance reflects his commitment to privacy and security, even if it means restricting Apple products within his companies.
