Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, has decided to ban the use of Apple products in his companies. This decision comes after Apple announced its collaboration with OpenAI to integrate ChatGPT into its devices.
Musk criticized this integration, calling it a “security violation.” He expressed concerns about how user data would be protected with the inclusion of ChatGPT. Musk stated that if OpenAI’s technology is built into the operating system of Apple devices, then those devices would be banned from use in Tesla and SpaceX.
Apple, in response, assured its users that their data would not be stored without their consent. They emphasized that they are committed to protecting user privacy and data security.
Elon Musk, who co-founded OpenAI but left the organization in 2018, has been openly critical of the direction the company has taken since his departure. He believes the integration of ChatGPT into Apple devices poses significant risks to data security.
Recently, Musk has focused on his own ventures in the AI field. He raised $6 billion for his AI firm, xAI, which he hopes will offer a different approach to artificial intelligence. This move is part of his broader effort to influence the development and use of AI technologies in a way that he believes is safer and more secure.
Musk’s decision to ban Apple products reflects his strong stance on data security and his ongoing rivalry with other major tech companies in the AI space.
