I find it bizarre that Apple and Microsoft don’t have their own AI to work with — even if it was just through an acquisition. Too much of a copyright and safety hot potato?
Yeah the only change here is room for plausible deniability. There will still be regular meetings between the companies, just not in the “board room”. As if that matters.
It’s probably more likely that Microsoft wants out of the board so that it can be free to pursue acquisitions of OpenAI’s competitors without a conflict of interest.

I remember that one. Pure comedy gold.
Apple has been on an AI shopping spree for a while now, and Apple IP is going to be driving a lot of what’s in Apple Intelligence.
The language and diffusion models that Apple has on device, and in that private cloud compute feature, are all Apple IP.
ChatGPT is only prompted when a query looks like it could benefit from it. And when that happens, the user is asked for data consent for every query.
Eh, just trying to avoid scrutiny.
