Musk Threatens Ban After Apple Announces OpenAI Partnership. Reuters reports that Elon Musk has threatened to ban Apple devices at his companies if the iPhone producer goes forward with plans to integrate OpenAI. "That is an unacceptable security violation." "And visitors will have to check their Apple devices at the door, where they will be stored in a Faraday cage." On June 10, Apple announced a number of new AI features to be introduced across the company's apps and operating platforms. Apple also announced a new partnership with OpenAI that will see ChatGPT technology added to all of the company's devices. According to Apple, privacy was "at the core" of its efforts to integrate AI. "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!", Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla & SpaceX, via Reuters. Previously, Musk sued OpenAI and its CEO Sam Altman for abandoning the company's original mission to create AI for the betterment of humanity rather than profit. Following the legal challenge, Musk started his own startup, xAI, to challenge OpenAI with an alternative to the popular chatbot ChatGPT. Reuters reports that Musk's xAI has been valued at $24 billion, after raising $6 billion in series B funding during its last funding round.
