A few days ago we informed you that the OpenIA company released the long-awaited official application of ChatGPT, one of the most widely used artificial intelligences today. All the big tech companies seem to have woken up from a deep sleep and started releasing all the technologies that have been developed in the last few years. For now Apple gave no indication of artificial intelligence or its own tools but we have WWDC23 just around the corner. However, a new leaked document suggests that Apple could have limited access of all its staff to ChatGPT in order to avoid leaks of their own AI tools.
Apple is working on its own AI and limits its employees to ChatGPT
Apple’s senior executives have direct contact with Tim Cook and are responsible for leading all large-scale projects, ensuring that every step taken is the right one. we can’t forget John Gianniandrea, Vice President of Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence Strategy, who is in charge of AI and Deep Learning technologies such as Siri or Core ML. In his past he has already worked with Google and it is possible that the role of Giannandrea in the coming months will be more important with the push of AI these days.

According to the Wall Street Journal, a series of documents were sent to Apple employees in which they prohibits the use of ChatGPT and other AI tools like GitHub’s Copilot. This measure makes sense since those in Cupertino fear that data from their own tools or even confidential Apple data will be leaked. Indeed, other companies such as Samsung have also banned the use of this type of technology after detecting that ChatGPT was being used to correct and improve the code of the company’s future tools.
All this happens in the face of the constant idea that Apple could be working on its own artificial intelligence tools based on high capacity language models that would allow them to directly compete with big tools like ChatGPT, Bing or Bard.
