The atmosphere that has been created in recent months around Apple’s new operating systems and the upcoming arrival of artificial intelligence (AI) is constantly evolving. A few months ago, Tim Cook himself, the company’s CEO, boasted that Apple’s generative AI would open new avenues. However, Apple’s intentions are not at all clear to us as the company is in talks with Google to integrate its own Gemini AI into iOS 18. And now we know that Apple has resumed discussions with OpenAI to bring some of its artificial intelligence features to upcoming operating systems.
OpenAI, in Apple’s sights for iOS 18
A few weeks ago it was known that Apple was in talks with Google to agree to the purchase and licensing of its own Gemini chatbot for use in its new operating systems. However, there was also news that earlier this year Tim Cook and his team met with Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, to discuss how they could use their AI tools in iOS 18 and the rest of the systems, but these conversations They have made little progress and remained stagnant.

However, we woke up today to Bloomberg claiming that Apple has resumed discussions with OpenAI, owner of tools as powerful as ChatGPT or DALL-E. These negotiations therefore revolve around a possible agreement on how to integrate all these AI functions into iOS 18 and iPadOS 18, among other new systems. Although no official information has been released, we also know that Apple maintains its negotiations with Google So it is clear that Cupertino has not yet made any decision in this regard.
Little by little, the wishes that Apple could have its own chatbot prepared for iOS 18 in the purest Gemini or ChatGPT style are fading, but given the intensification of negotiations with Google and OpenAI, it is increasingly difficult to believe that this will be the case. . All that remains is to wait for the arrival of WWDC24, the date on which Apple will unveil its plans for this entire year that remains and, above all, plans regarding the integration of AI into their systems.
