Apple is no longer so enthusiastic about its relationship with OpenAI, the partner behind key iPhone 16 AI capabilities.
Apple has decided to not invest in OpenAI, creator of generative artificial intelligence chatbot ChatGPT, per The Wall Street Journal.
WSJ reported last month that Apple would participate in an upcoming OpenAI fundraising round, possibly to deepen its ties with the company. OpenAI is the iPhone maker’s key Apple Intelligence partner. Apple Intelligence is the banner under which its AI tools are marketed.
The most important of these capabilities, AI-fueled writing tools and a more powerful Siri, are reliant on ChatGPT, which is integrated into these features.
It’s not known why Apple has bowed out of the funding, which could raise as much as $6.
