Apple will ask for users' permission before sharing any questions and data with ChatGPT. The company has emphasized its focus on privacy and security, and the integration with ChatGPT will be opt-in only. Apple has also said that it will not log information, and users' requests and data will not be stored or made accessible to Apple.
Apple benefits from not paying for AI partnerships by providing distribution to AI partners who can then sell premium subscriptions. This approach allows Apple to offer a range of AI services without relying on a single partner, while also validating the AI tech of companies like OpenAI and potentially Meta.
Apple is partnering with OpenAI to integrate ChatGPT into Siri, allowing users to access its expertise without needing to jump between tools6. Siri can tap into ChatGPT's intelligence when helpful, and users will be asked for permission before any questions or documents are sent to ChatGPT. The integration will be available in Apple's systemwide Writing Tools, and ChatGPT access is free without needing to create an account.
