New Delhi: Elon Musk has expressed concerns about the collaboration between Apple and OpenAI, fearing it could lead to OpenAI gaining access to his phone.
These concerns were raised following OpenAI’s appointment of Paul Nakasone, a former commander of US Cyber Command and director of the NSA, to its board of directors and safety committee.
Musk’s apprehensions escalated when he threatened to ban iPhones from all his companies if Apple integrates OpenAI’s ChatGPT deeply into their operating systems.
He cited security risks that he deemed unacceptable, suggesting that visitors to his firms might need to store their Apple devices in a Faraday cage at the door.
Additionally, Musk hinted at potential plans to partner with Samsung to develop an alternative phone, possibly as a response to what he perceives as security vulnerabilities associated with integrating AI technologies like ChatGPT at the OS level.
These developments underscore Musk’s ongoing concerns about the intersection of advanced AI, cybersecurity, and personal privacy, particularly in relation to devices used within his companies and personal life.
