Elon Musk to Ban Apple’s New AI?

Apple just announced that its users will be receiving an upgrade to will allow them to access what is known as personalized generative artificial intelligence.

The AI upgrade is systemwide, affecting Mac, iPhone and iPad users.

One of the optional features to be made available comes with the integration of OpenAI’s ChatGPT with Siri.

App developers have been invited to take part in the creation of new AI tools, but everyone isn’t rejoicing over this new development.

The revised Siri will now have capabilities to sort through context clues and take action inside various apps in order to assist the user.

Siri will now know all about your personal life through understanding your personal questions and preferences.

The AI will know who your child is, who you are closest to and where you work.

One feature involves being able to ask Siri to find a link to an article or show a friend sent you in weeks previous.

Elon Musk came out swinging against Apple’s announcement, however, stating that he would outright ban Apple devices from being permitted at any of his companies if they choose to move forward with the integration of OpenAI with their operating systems.

Whilst the push for this form of integration has been advancing thanks to experts in the field, others are sounding the alarm that there is a more sinister element to this move.

The concern?

That integration will give AI tools immense and almost uninhibited access to individuals personal information.

One of the major launches announced by the tech giant that is proving to be a point of contention with security experts stems from their upcoming Private Cloud Compute.

This application allows users to give AI computations to a remote Apple server.

As with any type of outsourcing, this presents an additional security risk.

Matthew Green, cryptographer and professor at Johns Hopkins University, stated:

“Your phone might seem to be in your pocket, but a part of it lives 2,000 miles away in a data center. As security folks we probably need to get used to that fact, and do the best we can to make sure all parts are secure.”

Yet another announcement that set off the security industry’s alarm bells came with Apple’s new password manager called Passwords.

Soon, passwords will be stored in Apple’s keychain, thus making them available across other platforms.

David Heinemeier Hansson, the creator of the Ruby on Rails programming language, issued a warning, however, that users shouldn’t lock themselves into Apple’s ecosystem.

“Putting all your passwords in the hands of Apple is not just a bad idea for security, but for your ability to consider other platforms.”

Commenting on Apple’s announcement, Alan Didio, author of “Summoning the Demon: A.I, Aliens and the Antichrist”, says believers need to remain cautious.

“While the benefits of Apple’s new AI upgrade may be obvious to some, the potential for these AI platforms to breach our privacy and manipulate our behaviors aligns with biblical warnings about end-time deception and the antichrist agenda,” Didio says.

“Elon Musk’s concerns highlight these ethical risks and should remind us to stay vigilant.”

Beta testing for Apple Intelligence has been set to begin in the fall of 2024.
