Elon Musk made a bold statement on Monday, threatening to ban Apple devices from his companies if Apple integrates OpenAI at the operating system level. The billionaire entrepreneur, known for leading Tesla, SpaceX, and X, expressed his concerns about the security implications of such integration.
If Apple integrates OpenAI at the OS level, then Apple devices will be banned at my companies. 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

Musk also mentioned that visitors entering his companies would need to surrender their Apple devices, which would then be securely stored in a Faraday cage. This decision came after Apple’s announcement of AI features integration and a partnership with OpenAI to incorporate ChatGPT technology into its devices.
It’s patently absurd that Apple isn’t smart enough to make their own AI, yet is somehow capable of ensuring that OpenAI will protect your security & privacy!
Apple has no clue what’s actually going on once they hand your data over to OpenAI. They’re selling you down the river.

Musk’s conflict with OpenAI has been ongoing, leading to legal action against the organization and its CEO. Despite the challenges, Musk launched xAI, a startup aimed at rivaling OpenAI and developing an alternative to ChatGPT.
Apple has been under pressure to prove the effectiveness of its AI strategy, especially after competitors like Microsoft and Google introduced their own AI products. Apple has emphasized privacy safeguards in its AI developments, ensuring that user data remains secure.
Apple Intelligence, integrated into the iOS 18 operating system, will offer users new features like creating emojis based on descriptions and generating email summaries. The AI enhancements will also include ChatGPT integration in operating system models.
Elon Musk’s stance on AI integration reflects his commitment to security and privacy, setting the stage for a potential showdown between tech giants in the AI space.
