Tesla CEO Elon Musk made headlines by sharing an Indian meme on X, taking a swipe at tech giant Apple over its integration of OpenAI’s ChatGPT in its features. The meme humorously illustrates concerns about potential data privacy violations arising from this integration.
Musk had previously voiced his apprehensions about Apple’s collaboration with OpenAI, going as far as issuing a warning to Apple CEO Tim Cook. He stated that if Apple proceeds with integrating OpenAI at the operating system level, he would ban Apple devices at his companies due to security concerns.
At the WWDC 2024 event, Apple’s Senior Vice President of Software Engineering, Craig Federighi, announced the integration of ChatGPT with Siri on Apple devices. This move aims to enhance Siri’s capabilities by enabling it to access contextual information from various apps to provide more tailored responses to user queries.
Apple assured users that ChatGPT can be utilized without the need for an account registration, and those who have purchased the service will enjoy access to premium features. The company emphasized that user data and requests will not be stored or recorded, prioritizing user privacy and security.
