This news is very surprising, since just a month ago it was confirmed that Apple was considering participating in this financing, which could have raised OpenAI’s valuation to more than $100 billion. The reasons for his retirement are unknown.
ChatGPT on iPhone
After hearing this news, the question that arises is the following: will this affect the future plans that Apple had for integrate ChatGPT into Siri?
Apple’s exit from the negotiations is particularly important, given its current focus on artificial intelligence and the incorporation of advanced technologies in its products. The Cupertino company had announced plans to integrate ChatGPT capabilities into Siri through iOS 18, iPadOS 18 and macOS Sequoia, allowing users to interact with the artificial intelligence more fluidly.
This integration aims to allow Siri show ChatGPT responses directly, always with the user’s permission. Despite Apple’s withdrawal, this integration is moving forward and is expected to be available to iPhone, iPad and Mac users before the end of the year, offering free access to ChatGPT without needing to create an account.
As Apple moves away from OpenAI, other tech giants continue their participation in the funding round. Microsoft, which has already invested $13 billion in OpenAI, plans to contribute approximately $1 billion this time. In addition, Nvidia is also in talks to participate in this financing.
Apple does not abandon artificial intelligence
Apple decided not to invest in OpenAI, possibly due to the company’s internal instability as it transforms into a for-profit entity. Despite this, Apple remains committed to artificial intelligence, integrating ChatGPT into Siri. This strategy will allow users to access advanced features without a subscription.
The future of artificial intelligence in Apple products looks promising, despite the recent decision not to invest in OpenAI. The company continues to focus on improving the user experience and integrating the latest technology into its ecosystem, so that its products boast the best artificial intelligence, a market to which they are already late. With the arrival of new updates and features, Apple seeks to offer innovative solutions that maintain its relevance in a sector where competition is fierce and the company has already taken giant steps long before Californians.
Apple’s decision to withdraw from the negotiation with OpenAI could be a simple strategic adjustment, but it also highlights the complexity of the artificial intelligence market and the decisions that large companies must make to stay ahead in this competitive sector.
