The already strained relationship between Elon Musk and OpenAI took another blow following Apple‘s announcement at WWDC24. Apple revealed a future collaboration with OpenAI, intending to integrate OpenAI’s ChatGPT technology with Siri. This news sparked outrage from Musk, who took to platform X with a series of posts accusing Apple of “selling user data.”
The public spat between Sam Altman and Elon Musk seems to be escalating
Musk expressed his skepticism, stating, “Apple isn’t innovative enough to create its own AI, yet thinks it can guarantee user privacy through OpenAI? That’s laughable! Once your data reaches OpenAI, Apple loses control. They’re essentially selling you out.”
His criticism escalated further, threatening a potential ban: “If Apple integrates OpenAI at the operating system level,” Musk declared, “Apple devices will be prohibited within my companies. This represents a serious security breach. Visitors will be required to surrender their Apple devices at the entrance and store them in Faraday cages.” (A Faraday cage is a metal enclosure that blocks electromagnetic signals.)
This public spat highlights the ongoing tension between Musk and OpenAI. With Apple entering the equation, the battle lines for artificial intelligence development and user data security become even more complex.
