Elon Musk has announced that if Apple integrates OpenAI technologies into its operating system, he will prohibit Apple products from his firm. This declaration follows Apple's unveiling of new AI features and a collaboration with OpenAI to bring ChatGPT technology to its products.
Apple introduced various AI enhancements across its apps and operating platforms, emphasizing that its AI development prioritizes privacy. The company plans to use both on-device processing and cloud computing to support these features.
Musk expressed his disapproval on the social media platform X, stating, "That is an unacceptable security violation." He added that visitors to his companies would have to check their Apple devices at the door, where they would be stored in a Faraday cage to prevent any electronic interference.
Musk’s threat to ban Apple devices at his companies if they incorporate OpenAI technology reflects his serious concerns about security and privacy. This development illustrates a significant and ongoing debate within the tech industry about the safe integration of AI into consumer technology.
