- Apple has reportedly banned the use of ChatGPT internally due to concerns about leaking confidential information.
- The company is also looking for AI/ML experts for multiple roles, including generative AI. Apple posted 56 new AI/ML jobs in May alone.
Days after OpenAI launched its ChatGPT app for iOS, Apple reportedly banned the use of ChatGPT internally. The Wall Street Journal reports that Apple is concerned about the security of sensitive information/data collected from its employees by popular AI platforms such as OpenAI. Chat GPT.
The company also restricts the use of pair programmer GitHub Copilot, an AI tool that leverages GPT-3, the predecessor of the underlying technology underpinning ChatGPT. SetApp’s Mac Developer Survey 2023 revealed that 39% of Mac developers use his ChatGPT for development.
in the meantime ChatGPT can be used for different types of cyberattacksWith AI-generated phishing emails, malware, and code, Apple may be more concerned about security vulnerabilities in its tools.
In March 2023, OpenAI confirmed a data breach due to a vulnerability in Redis-py, the open source library it uses. The bug forced ChatGPT to expose email identities, user conversations and payment information, and forced OpenAI to take its tools offline.
moreover, large scale language model Or an LLM-based generative AI tool that is continuously trained based on data submitted in chat.
Apple isn’t the only one restricting the use of ChatGPT. Banks and financial institutions clearly hate ChatGPT the most. Bank of America, JPMorgan Chase, Deutsche Bank and Citigroup have all banned ChatGPT.
In the tech sector, Northrop Grumman, Verizon, Accenture, Amazon, and Apple’s rival and supplier Samsung have also banned ChatGPT in their companies. Earlier this month, Samsung lifted its ban on the generative AI tool, citing “abuse,” and reintroduced it to all company-owned and non-company-owned devices connected to its corporate network.
especially, Microsoft also has a vested interest in ChatGPT ($11 billion in funding for OpenAI) and Copilot (which owns GitHub). Therefore, from Apple’s perspective, it makes sense to ensure that trade and technical secrets are preserved.

However, it is important to recognize the technological and entrepreneurial implications of generative AI. Persado’s co-founder and COO, Assaf Baciu, said in an opinion piece to Spiceworks: I have written“In the next few years, generative AI will be a rocket for enterprises – both business leaders and individual employees.”
Generative AI is used in communication, e-commerce, web search, finance, law, art, software development, hardware design and more. “As you can already see, 2023 holds the greatest potential for brands looking to extend his current AI capabilities,” he added Baciu.
“Companies that want to stay competitive and be at the forefront of innovation should consider adopting transformative technologies such as generative AI. We will play an active role in reshaping the corporate landscape across the board.”
Clearly, Apple doesn’t want to sacrifice security at the expense of AI capabilities. So how does the Cupertino-based tech giant and the world’s most valuable company by market capitalization keep from being left behind? Simple. He has driven the development of his own tech stack, as evidenced by the proliferation of relevant job postings on his website.
Apple is looking for technology professionals to fill multiple roles in the fields of artificial intelligence and machine learning. The company has so far posted 56 new US-based jobs. Of his 250 AI/ML job openings at Apple in the US, his 167 have been posted this year as of May 22, 2023.
