Apple limits the internal use of AI tools such as ChatGPT and Github Copilot
In a race to develop generative AI, big tech companies are cautious in sharing their secrets. Apple, a report claims, has restricted the use of tools such as OpenAI’s ChatGPT or Microsoft-owned GitHub Copilot to its employees in order to keep their data out of competitors’ hands.
The Wall Street Journal reports that Apple is concerned about the possibility of its confidential data being used by developers to train models using user data. OpenAI has launched its official ChatGPT iOS app Thursday. Mark Gurman, a Bloomberg reporter, tweeted that the chatbot had been on Apple’s list of restricted software for months.
I think ChatGPT was banned/on Apple’s list of restricted software for several months. The release of ChatGPT for iOS today makes this issue relevant once again.
