Fearing increased antitrust scrutiny, both Apple and Microsoft are distancing themselves from OpenAI. Microsoft vacated its observer seat on the board, and Apple has now opted not to take up a similar position. Camilla Hodgson and George Hammond for Financial Times: ‎ Microsoft, which has invested $13bn in the maker of the generative AI chatbot ChatGPT, said in a letter to OpenAI that its withdrawal from its board role would be “effective immediately”. Apple had also been expected to take an observer role on OpenAI’s board as part of a deal to integrate ChatGPT into the iPhone maker’s devices, but would not do so, according to a person with direct knowledge of the matter.

Having ChatGPT integrated into iOS 18 will be a big deal for iPhone users and also a big deal for OpenAI and ChatCGP users. Chris Smith for BGR: ‎ Thanks to Apple’s partnership with OpenAI, every ChatGPT user will get a better ChatGPT experience, even if they don’t own a single Apple product.

Phil Schiller, the head of Apple’s App Store and its former marketing chief, was chosen for the position, Gurman reports citing “people familiar with the situation.” Mark Gurman for Bloomberg News: ‎ As a board observer, he won’t be serving as a full-fledged director, said the people, who asked not to be identified because the matter isn’t public. The move follows Apple’s announcement in June that it would offer ChatGPT in…
