According to reports, Apple has struck a deal worth billions of dollars with OpenAI, the company that makes ChatGPT. The tech giant has been in a frenzy over the past few months to find a partner for its artificial intelligence (AI) capability requirements. It was reported that the company was in talks with OpenAI and Google; it looks like OpenAI has already finalized the agreement. It’s anticipated that Apple will announce the partnership on June 10 at its Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) 2024.
The details of the agreements are now unknown, but once the relationship is formally revealed at the WWDC event, things should become clearer. Notably, this data supports a prior report by Mark Gurman of Bloomberg that stated Apple and OpenAI were collaborating to incorporate ChatGPT into iOS 18.
The report further highlights that the AI company stands to gain billions of dollars from the agreement if it succeeds. The report further suggests that OpenAI may still turn a profit through other channels even though it is not directly profiting from the agreement.
One potential solution would be to charge consumers for using ChatGPT or to provide Apple users the chance to subscribe to ChatGPT Pro. These are merely rumours, though, and once the agreement is formally confirmed, we should learn more.
The report stated that Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella may have concerns about this deal and its potential effects on Microsoft’s collaboration with OpenAI, based on information provided by another anonymous source.
Surprisingly Apple is not depending solely on the OpenAI collaboration to offer new AI capabilities to its users. The tech company is anticipated to launch AI integration for several apps, including Notes, Photos, the Safari browser, and Siri. It can also reveal macOS AI features.
