Apple Explores Partnerships with OpenAI and Google for AI-Powered Features in iOS 18

Apple Inc. is in discussions with both OpenAI and Google about using their AI technology to power new features coming to the next iPhone operating system, iOS 18. The company had previously held talks with OpenAI earlier this year but work between the two parties had been minimal since then. Apple is also considering a deal with Google's Gemini chatbot.

The next iPhone operating system, iOS 18, will include several new features based on Apple's in-house large language model. However, the company is seeking partners to power a chatbot-like feature similar to OpenAI's ChatGPT. Bloomberg reported in March that Apple had been discussing deals with both OpenAI and Anthropic for this purpose.

Apple CEO Tim Cook has personally used OpenAI's ChatGPT but indicated that there were 'a number of issues that need to be sorted.' He promised that new AI features would come to Apple's platforms on a 'very thoughtful basis.'

By outsourcing the generative AI features to another company, Cook is potentially lessening the liability for its platform. The latest development comes about a month and a half before Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference, where it is expected to introduce new AI software and services.

Apple's renewed talks with OpenAI mark a reopening of dialogue between the companies. Previous reports indicated that Apple had been considering Google as another potential partner for its chatbot feature. No final decision has been made, and it's possible that Apple may ultimately reach an agreement with both OpenAI and Google or pick another provider entirely.

The integration of AI technology from external partners could help accelerate Apple's push into chatbots while also addressing some privacy concerns. By processing the AI features on the device itself, Apple can maintain better control over user data compared to relying on cloud-based solutions.

ChatGPT Could Power the iPhone's AI Chatbot: Report

Gizmodo Maxwell Zeff Saturday, 27 April 2024 11:00
  • Unique Points
    • Apple is reportedly holding discussions with OpenAI and Google about using their AI technology to power some features coming to the iPhone later this year.
    • By relying on Google or OpenAI, Apple could avoid some of the major flubs those companies have experienced in launching their own AI chatbots.
  • Accuracy
    • Apple has struggled to keep pace with the competition in developing AI technology and reportedly struggled internally to create an in-house product similar to ChatGPT.
    • An Apple partnership with OpenAI would give the startup a dominant position in the AI world. A partnership with Google would renew faith in Gemini AI after a somewhat embarrassing debut.
  • Deception (80%)
    The article contains editorializing and selective reporting. The author expresses their opinion that Apple is 'late to the party' and 'struggled internally to develop a product similar to ChatGPT'. They also state that Apple has struggled to keep pace with the competition and that they are relying on Google or OpenAI for generative AI features in order to avoid major flubs. These statements are not factual, but rather the author's interpretation of events and their opinion on Apple's position in the AI world. The article also selectively reports information by focusing on Apple's potential partnership with Google or OpenAI, while ignoring other potential partners or internal developments. However, there is no clear evidence of emotional manipulation or sensationalism.
    • The company reportedly struggled internally to develop a product similar to ChatGPT.
    • They also state that Apple has struggled to keep pace with the competition.
    • Apple was largely absent from the AI conversation for all of 2023, and now it’s expected to release its first generative AI offering halfway through 2024. Simply put, Apple is late to the party.
