Apple’s integration of AI into its flagship voice assistant, Siri, has sparked a surprising internal debate. Sources say that a former leader at Apple, John Giannandrea, pushed for Google’s Gemini over OpenAI’s ChatGPT when deciding how to enhance Siri. 🤯 Why this shift? Giannandrea was concerned about the longevity and data handling practices of OpenAI. His concerns centered around whether OpenAI could maintain stability in the rapidly evolving AI landscape while prioritizing user privacy on a scale that Apple is known for. Despite his preference for Google, Apple ultimately decided to launch its Siri integration with ChatGPT as it aligns better with their strategy for building a powerful but controlled AI experience for users. But what does this say about Apple’s AI future? It suggests they are going for a multi-model approach, integrating different models and technologies for a wider range of functionality and user choice. 🤖
