The
companies have begun discussing terms of a potential agreement
and how OpenAI features would be integrated into Apple’s next
iPhone operating system, iOS 18, the report said, citing people
familiar with the matter.
Apple and OpenAI did not immediately respond to Reuters requests
for comment.
Bloomberg reported last month that Apple was in talks to license
Google's Gemini chatbot for new iPhone features.
Apple has not made a final decision on which partners it will
use, and could reach an agreement with both OpenAI and Alphabet
Inc's Google or pick another provider entirely, the Bloomberg
report said.
Apple has been slower in rolling out generative AI, which can
generate human-like responses to written prompts, than rivals
such as Microsoft and Google, which are weaving them into
products.
Apple CEO Tim Cook said in February that the company was
investing "significantly" in generative AI and would reveal more
about its plans to put the technology to use later this year.
