BIG STORY OF THE DAY
Apple Testing a ChatGPT-like ChatBot to Rival Google and OpenAI

Brief: Apple is reportedly developing an AI chatbot, internally called "Apple GPT," to compete with similar offerings from OpenAI and Google. The chatbot is currently being used internally for product prototyping, and Apple is yet to decide on a consumer release strategy.

Details:

• The chatbot is similar to existing offerings like Bard, ChatGPT, and Bing AI, and has no unique features that set it apart from commercially available tools.
  

• The internal rollout of the chatbot was temporarily halted due to security concerns about generative AI but has since been made available to more Apple employees.
  

• Apple employees are using the chatbot to help with product prototyping, including summarizing text and answering questions based on its training data.
  

• The company has been actively recruiting generative AI talent, with several job postings seeking experts in large language models and generative AI.

What’s Next: Apple reportedly plans a significant AI-related announcement next year, with CEO Tim Cook saying that although the tech giant would add AI to more of its offerings, it would do so on a 'thoughtful basis.'
