Cupertino, CA – Apple Worldwide Developer Conference 2024
In a groundbreaking announcement at Apple’s Worldwide Developer Conference 2024, OpenAI and Apple revealed their new partnership to integrate ChatGPT into iOS, iPadOS, and macOS. This collaboration aims to streamline user experiences by embedding ChatGPT’s advanced capabilities—such as image and document understanding—directly into Apple’s operating systems.
Enhanced Siri and Writing Tools
Siri will now leverage ChatGPT’s intelligence to provide more precise and contextual answers. Users will be prompted before any data, including documents or photos, is sent to ChatGPT, ensuring transparency and control. Siri will then present the response directly within the app, enhancing user convenience.
Moreover, Apple’s systemwide Writing Tools will feature ChatGPT integration, assisting users in generating content across various writing tasks. Additionally, users can utilize ChatGPT’s image generation tools to create visuals in diverse styles, complementing their written content.
Privacy and Security
Apple and OpenAI prioritize user privacy and data security. When using ChatGPT within Siri and Writing Tools, requests are not stored by OpenAI, and user IP addresses are anonymized. Users can also link their ChatGPT accounts, ensuring their data preferences are respected in accordance with ChatGPT’s policies.
Accessibility and Features
Powered by GPT-4o, this integration will be available later this year across iOS, iPadOS, and macOS. Users can access these features for free without needing to create an account. ChatGPT subscribers will have the option to connect their accounts and access premium features directly through Apple devices.
Leadership Insights
Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, expressed enthusiasm about the partnership:
“We’re excited to partner with Apple to bring ChatGPT to their users in a new way. Apple shares our commitment to safety and innovation, and this partnership aligns with OpenAI’s mission to make advanced AI accessible to everyone. Together with Apple, we’re making it easier for people to benefit from what AI can offer.”
