At WWDC last month, Apple announced its partnership with OpenAI to integrate ChatGPT into iOS 18. While no money is changing hands between Apple and OpenAI, a new report today reveals that Apple will get an “observer role” on OpenAI’s board of directors as part of the arrangement. Apple isn’t paying OpenAI as part of this arrangement, nor is OpenAI paying Apple. Instead, Apple believes the exposure given to ChatGPT in iOS 18 is “of equal or greater value” than cash.
