Apple’s Phil Schiller will be taking on an observer role on OpenAI’s board, similar to Microsoft’s position. This move comes after Microsoft secured a non-voting observer seat on the board last year. The arrangement is set to take effect later in the year, with Schiller not having attended any meetings yet. This observer position allows attendance at board meetings without voting rights. The presence of both Microsoft and Apple at these meetings could potentially create complications due to their history of being both rivals and partners.
Last month, Apple announced deep integration of OpenAI’s technology into its products, including Siri and new writing tools. This partnership is non-exclusive and Apple is not paying OpenAI, but the value for OpenAI lies in accessing millions of Apple users. Apple is also exploring partnerships with Google and Anthropic, while rejecting integration with Meta over privacy concerns. Elon Musk has threatened to ban Apple products from all his companies due to privacy concerns following the ChatGPT integration.
The tangled web of AI deals among tech giants continues to evolve, with companies navigating partnerships and rivalries in the rapidly advancing field of artificial intelligence.
