Apple Stock (NASDAQ:AAPL)
It has been alleged that Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) is restricting its workers’ access to third-party tools for generative artificial intelligence, such as ChatGPT. At the same time, the company works toward developing comparable technologies.
According to a story in The Wall Street Journal, which cited an internal document and individuals familiar with the situation, the business is worried that using the tools might result in the disclosure of sensitive information to the general public.
After discovering that some individuals could see the chat histories of other users in March, OpenAI decided to temporarily suspend the history function of ChatGPT.
Since then, OpenAI has made it possible for users to switch off their chat history, which affects the capacity of its huge language models to learn from the information contained in that history.
This past week, ChatGPT, supported by billions of dollars from Microsoft, announced that it had produced an iOS app and that an Android app was on its way soon.
This week, Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) added multiple job openings on its employment website, signaling the company’s intention to step up its recruitment efforts for generative AI-related roles.
Tim Cook, CEO of Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL), said that generative AI was intriguing but that prudence was required during the company’s earnings call a month ago.
In answer to a question on generative AI, Cook said, “I do think it’s very important to be deliberate and thoughtful in how you approach these things.”
Cook continued, saying, “And there are a number of issues that need to be sorted out.” As is being discussed in a variety of settings throughout the internet. But there are many possibilities there, making it extremely exciting.”
In early Friday trade, Apple stock were slightly higher.
