OpenAI Preparing Legal Action Against Apple Over Failed ChatGPT-Siri Integration

TechCrunch·high signal

OpenAI has enlisted an outside law firm to explore legal options against Apple, potentially including a breach-of-contract notice, after the ChatGPT integration into Siri failed to deliver expected subscribers and prominence. OpenAI expected its placement within Siri and Apple settings to trigger a surge in ChatGPT Plus subscriptions, but complains the integration has been buried and revenue is 'nowhere close to projections.' Apple has its own grievances, including concerns about OpenAI's privacy standards and irritation over OpenAI's hardware push led by former Apple executives including Jony Ive.
