Apple is reportedly in talks again with OpenAI, one of the leading artificial intelligence startups, about integrating its technology into new features of the iPhone. These features are expected to be part of the next iPhone operating system, iOS 18, which will be released later this year.
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has an altcoin project called Worldcoin (WLD).
Talks between the two tech giants have centered around the terms of a potential deal and the details of how OpenAI’s features will be included in iOS 18. Sources, who requested anonymity due to the private nature of the talks, stated that this indicates that the dialogue between Apple and OpenAI has restarted. Earlier this year, the companies were in preliminary talks about a deal, but little progress has been made since then.
In addition to OpenAI, Apple is also reportedly in talks with Alphabet’s Google about licensing Gemini chatbot technology. However, Apple has not yet made a final decision on which partners it will collaborate with for upcoming artificial intelligence features. It remains possible that Apple will reach an agreement with both OpenAI and Google, or choose a different provider entirely.
Apple CEO Tim Cook stated that he personally used OpenAI’s ChatGPT last year, but also stated that there were “a number of problems that need to be solved.” He had assured that new AI features would be introduced to Apple’s platforms “very carefully.”
