Breaking News: OpenAI and Apple Announce Partnership
On June 10th, 2024, OpenAI and Apple announced their partnership and the upcoming release of Apple Intelligence at the Worldwide Developers Conference.
Apple will leverage ChatGPT across iOS, iPadOS, macOS, Apple’s Writing Tools, and Siri to create a seamless AI integration for users.
As Gizmodo anticipated when news of a potential partnership emerged last week, ChatGPT’s integration with Siri is a highlight of the collaboration. When you ask Siri a question, Siri will ask if you want to opt in to use ChatGPT to process an answer. Then, Siri will share the answer processed by ChatGPT with you.
Anticipated Features:
- Content Production: ChatGPT will streamline text and image creation within Apple’s Writing Tools.
- AI-Driven Virtual Assistance: ChatGPT is expected to enhance Siri, enabling users to get immediate answers to their questions from ChatGPT and take action with users’ content in more apps (with the option to selectively opt-in).
- Data Privacy: Users can optionally link their ChatGPT accounts. OpenAI won’t store IP addresses or query information from Siri or Apple’s Writing Tools.
OpenAI notes that the integration of ChatGPT with iOS, iPadOS, and macOS is expected later in 2024.
As details on this and new partnerships are released, we’ll update this article with the latest news.
