According to Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, Apple may potentially ban OpenAI’s ChatGPT from its App Store. Musk expressed his concerns during an interview, stating that Apple has a history of restricting apps that could potentially compete with their own services. He cited the example of Apple’s restrictions on apps related to digital wallets and cryptocurrency. Musk believes that since Apple is working on its own AI assistant, they may view ChatGPT as a competitive threat and impose limitations on its availability through the App Store. However, it’s important to note that these are speculations from Musk, and Apple has not officially announced any plans to ban ChatGPT. The potential ban could limit the accessibility of ChatGPT for iOS users, which would be a significant setback for OpenAI’s efforts to make their AI technology widely available.
