What is striking is that creation and development of an AI-based chatbot.
Apple and OpenAI in negotiations, will they manage to find a good agreement?
It is interesting to note that we are talking about new developments in artificial intelligence, especially as the dates for the presentation of operating systems approach. One of the negotiations talks about an AI-powered chatbot in iOS 18, but there is no question of replacing Siri or a new assistant.

Seeing this development, Apple takes care of user privacya point that will surely be addressed both at WWDC and at the presentation of the iPhone 16 when they address the subject of the chip and its neural engine, among other news.
