[Market Trends] Apple Set to Get OpenAI Board Observer Role | Bloomberg Technology
๐ Apple Deepens AI Integration with Strategic Board Position at OpenAI
Apple's recent arrangement to have an observer on the OpenAI board signifies a strengthening of ties between the two companies, more than initially expected. This board observer role, filled by Phil Schiller, allows Apple greater insight into OpenAI’s decision-making processes. This move likely follows controversies OpenAI faced, leading Apple to demand transparency in operations before finalizing their partnership. Phil Schiller, a long-standing executive at Apple, is known for his defense of Apple’s privacy and product strategies. This strategic partnership integrates OpenAI’s AI capabilities, like ChatGPT, into Apple’s devices, emphasizing Apple’s continued exploration of AI options beyond OpenAI for enhancing its ecosystem.
