OpenAI Weighs Legal Action Against Apple Over iPhone ChatGPT Integration

OpenAI is reportedly reviewing legal options against Apple over a partnership agreement to bring ChatGPT to the iPhone. The Financial Times reported on the 14th, local time, citing sources, that OpenAI believes progress has been insufficient on the alliance it signed with Apple in 2024. Around June 2024, the two companies agreed to add ChatGPT results to Apple’s Siri and deeply integrate ChatGPT into Apple operating systems. Apple has chosen a strategy of offering third-party AI models to iPhone users through outside partnerships rather than investing heavily in its own AI models and infrastructure. One person said OpenAI is concerned that Apple has shown little interest in committing the resources needed to fulfill the partnership. The dispute could affect Apple’s AI strategy and OpenAI’s platform expansion plans. Source: rss.donga.com
