Tim Cook Reveals Apple’s Utilization of ChatGPT for Enhancing Siri
During an interview this week, Apple CEO Tim Cook expressed both enthusiasm and concern regarding the potential of AI. He revealed that he had experimented with the OpenAI chatbot ChatGPT to gain insight into its capabilities and applications. Cook discussed the vast possibilities of AI and shared his observations from his experience with the chatbot.
“Oh, of course, I’m using it. Yes, I’m excited about it. I think there are some unique applications for it, and you can bet it’s something we’re looking at closely,” Cook said in an interview with Good Morning America. It’s interesting to hear Cook say , that he has been using ChatGPT, even after companies like Samsung and even Apple banned their employees from using the AI Chatbot.
But it’s likely that Cook, like any other tech wizard, wants to keep up with the latest technology on the market. He has even talked about the metaverse in recent months, and now that Apple has entered the Mixed reality space, these comments certainly make sense.
Cook has seen the potential of AI chatbots like ChatGPT and Bard and sees them as a big part of the future. However, he also pointed out concerns about the regulation of these AI chatbots, particularly their bias and the extent of the misinformation they pose.
The Apple boss understands that companies are working on these chatbots at a fast pace, but they should not forget to manage usability and also self-regulate the technology to avoid accidents.
Cook is one of many technology executives who praise AI for its potential, but also warn of the consequences if it is not handled properly. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman is in the limelight, but he recognizes the need to manage the growth of AI and not become an obstacle to human evolution.
ChatGPT is indeed developing rapidly, now in its fourth generation model, the company has benefited greatly from Microsoft’s $10 billion investment, and now Altman and Co are looking for grants for other small AI startups.
