after the WWDC 2024 event that helped this Monday.
Musk's response came in a series of posts on X where Tesla, SpaceX, and xAI said that “if Apple integrates OpenAI at the OS level,” devices created by Apple would be banned from his business, and even more so, visitors would not be allowed to enter with their Apple devices, needing to leave them at the entrance “stored in a Faraday cage”.
Even more so, Musk stated its concerns regarding privacy and data that might be put at risk by the integration of Artificial Intelligence powered by OpenAI, “an unacceptable security violation,” and that Apple has “no clue what’s actually going on.”
Apple announced the integration of artificial intelligence into its devices. Siri will be leveraging the use of artificial intelligence and their chatbots for better and faster AI assistant “It’s patently absurd that Apple isn’t smart enough to make their own AI, yet is somehow capable of ensuring that OpenAI will protect your security & privacy!”.
Even more so, he made it clear that integrating Artificial Intelligence solutions from OpenAI would lead to the suppression of those devices in the case where Apple “integrates OpenAI at the OS level,”.
However, Apple stated in an interview with CBN that the tech company uses its own AI, ChatGPT from OpenAI being only an optional feature available to users. Elon Musk's response to this new update is that he will ban Apple unless this update will “stop this creepy spyware.”.
These new features will be available starting with iOS 18. Apple stated that those updates aim to make a better user experience and deliver faster responses. However, Musk also responded to a post by the YouTuber Marques Brownlee that “Apple using the words ‘protect your privacy’ while handing your data over to a third-party AI that they don’t understand and can’t themselves create is *not* protecting privacy at all!”.
