🤖 Apple Secures ‘Observer’ Seat on OpenAI Board
NP#255
Good morning and welcome to the latest edition of neonpulse!
Today, we’re talking about Apple’s new position on the OpenAI board 👀
Apple's Phil Schiller Takes Observer Seat on OpenAI's Board
Apple is making a strategic move by appointing Phil Schiller, the head of the App Store and former marketing chief, to an observer role on OpenAI's nonprofit board. According to Bloomberg, Schiller will not have voting rights but will participate in board meetings, a step that marks a significant alignment as Apple aims to integrate ChatGPT into its iOS and macOS platforms later this year.
This collaboration intends to enhance Siri's capabilities, allowing the voice assistant to defer more complex queries to ChatGPT, provided users agree to this feature. Interestingly, the partnership is structured without financial exchange initially, although Apple is poised to gain a share from ChatGPT subscriptions activated through its services in the future.
Phil Schiller's board participation follows a similar move by Microsoft last year, indicating a growing trend of major tech companies securing a non-voting but influential presence on OpenAI's board. This development might complicate the dynamics of OpenAI’s collaborations, especially given that it's relatively uncommon for Apple executives to take board positions in partner companies.
This unfolding relationship could potentially reshape interactions between major tech giants and leading AI research entities, offering a glimpse into the evolving strategies tech companies are employing to stay at the forefront of AI advancements.
