If Apple integrates services from Open AI – and their Chat-GPT – into their devices, Apple products will be banned at Elon Musk's companies.

The tech billionaire writes on X.

Apple presented its AI initiative, Apple Intelligence, on Monday. One part of it includes a collaboration with Open AI, giving iPhone, iPad, and Mac users access to the Chat-GPT chatbot via the digital voice assistant Siri.

Elon Musk, who is behind companies Tesla and SpaceX and bought X in autumn 2022, calls it "unacceptable".

"If Apple integrates Open AI at the OS level, Apple devices will be banned at my companies. This is an unacceptable security breach", he writes on X.

Visitors to the companies will have to leave their Apple products at the reception, adds Musk.

Apple itself claims that precautionary measures will be taken, including that user data will not be tracked.

"Privacy protection is built in when you use Chat-GPT within Siri. Requests are not stored by Open AI and users' IP addresses are hidden", Apple said in a statement when the AI initiative was announced, reports Bloomberg.
