Here's What We Know

iOS 18, presented at the WWDC conference, introduced a number of new features called Apple Intelligence, which includes integration with OpenAI's ChatGPT. It allows users to interact with artificial intelligence to create images and get help with writing, in particular, by sending Siri queries to ChatGPT.

Elon Musk has expressed serious concerns about this integration, calling it an unacceptable security breach. He threatens to ban the use of Apple devices in his companies, including Tesla and SpaceX. In addition, Musk has announced a requirement to hand over Apple phones upon entering his companies for security purposes.

Despite this, Apple noted that it will continue to adhere to the principles of privacy and security. In addition, enterprise customers will be able to block the use of ChatGPT and Apple Intelligence features using standard MDM controls.
