Apple's cooperation with OpenAI has further deepened. According to the agreement reached earlier by the two parties, Apple will obtain an observer seat on the OpenAI board of directors. This is part of the cooperation plan between the two parties to integrate OpenAI's artificial intelligence services into Apple's products.

Apple researcher Phil Schiller, a former marketing executive who oversaw Apple's App Store and product launch events, will take on the observer position, Bloomberg reported on July 2.

As an observer, Schiller is entitled to attend board meetings but does not have the right to vote or exercise director powers. Although he has not yet attended any meetings, he is expected to start doing so later this year, though that arrangement could still change.

Bloomberg analysis believes that this observer role may put Apple on the same starting line with Microsoft in its cooperation with OpenAI, which is OpenAI's main supporter and artificial intelligence technology provider. However, there is also a view that OpenAI and Microsoft may exclude Apple when discussing private AI plans.

At present, this news has not been made public, and after Bloomberg made a request for comment, neither Apple nor OpenAI responded. This cooperation is part of Apple's strategy to integrate artificial intelligence technology into its products and services, demonstrating Apple's ambition in the field of AI and its willingness to cooperate with industry leaders.

Job placement is part of the early partnership

According to Bloomberg, Apple's observer position on OpenAI's board is part of an early collaboration agreement between the two parties, which involves Apple integrating OpenAI's ChatGPT technology into its products.

On June 10, Apple officially announced its cooperation with OpenAI and detailed its personal intelligent system Apple Intelligence. A key point of this cooperation is to allow Apple's voice assistant Siri to use OpenAI's ChatGPT technology with the user's consent, thereby enhancing Siri's intelligent conversation capabilities.

Bloomberg pointed out that this cooperation arrangement between Apple and OpenAI does not involve financial transactions. In addition, Apple's AI cooperation vision is not limited to OpenAI, and the company is also actively expanding its cooperation with other important players in the AI ​​field.

Currently, Apple is negotiating with Google and Anthropic on cooperation in AI technology, and in China, Apple is also discussing with Baidu and Alibaba Group how to integrate AI technology into its products.

Bloomberg reported on June 30 that Apple may choose to announce its partnership with Google when it releases new features in cooperation with OpenAI in the fall. This shows that Apple's layout in the field of AI is comprehensive and in-depth, aiming to promote the intelligent development of its products and services through collaboration with different partners.

Conclusion:

The deepening cooperation between Apple and OpenAI marks the continuous strengthening of the strategic alliance between the two technology giants in the field of artificial intelligence. This cooperation will not only bring a smarter experience to Apple products, but also demonstrate Apple's ambition in the field of AI and its dedication to future innovation.

As Apple actively seeks to cooperate with other leading companies in the field of AI, its efforts to deploy AI technology worldwide will continue to expand, injecting new vitality and possibilities into the development of intelligence. This cooperation will bring more innovative applications and intelligent experiences to consumers, and also highlights the importance of close cooperation between industry leaders and the future vision of jointly creating AI technology applications. #苹果 #OpenAI #AI领域 #深化合作
