Apple has appointed Phil Schiller, the App Store chief and former marketing head, to represent the company on OpenAI’s nonprofit board. Schiller will have an observer role, allowing him to attend board meetings but not vote or act as a director. Microsoft also holds a non-voting observer position on the board, which could complicate discussions with both tech giants. It is uncommon for Apple executives to take board seats at companies they collaborate with. The Verge reached out to OpenAI and Apple for comments on the report, and the story will be updated if any responses are received.
