Earlier this week news broke that Apple will be partnering with OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT, to bring AI features to the iPhone. However it’s also been reported that OpenAI features will be opt-in, which means anyone that isn’t interested won’t have these features forced on them.
This news comes from Mark Gurman at Bloomberg, quoting people “familiar with the matter”. Apparently the opt-in nature of OpenAI features on iPhone is an attempt to appease wary customers — some of whom may not be happy with OpenAI having any kind of access to their personal data.
