On Monday, Apple announced a couple of new features across its apps and operating platforms and a partnership with OpenAI to bring the ChatGPT technology to its devices. And it seems Elon Musk is not happy about it.
According to him on a post on X.com, “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.”
Apple has not officially responded to this statement.
Apple said it had built AI with privacy “at the core” and it would use a combination of on-device processing and cloud computing to power those features.
During Apple’s presentation, the company said that “ChatGPT integration” will be coming to its operating systems for the iPhone, iPad and Mac computers later this year. But it also said that user data wouldn’t be tracked and there would be other precautions.
“Privacy protections are built in when accessing ChatGPT within Siri,” Apple said in a statement announcing the feature. “Requests are not stored by OpenAI, and users’ IP addresses are obscured.”
